At Crissier's Hôtel de Ville restaurant, Charline Pichon, guarantor of the institution's exceptional cellar, was named Gault&Millau Sommelier of the Year.

She is the female face of the sommelier team at theHôtel de Ville de Crissier. Charline Pichon is one of a new breed of free-spirited sommeliers. When we met her in an article last year, she confided in us about her career path: “I immediately fell under the spell of this profession. Both in terms of the exchange with the winemaker and with the customer, there’s no such thing as routine. Every meal is different and full of surprises. One thing’s for sure: Charline Pichon brings a fresh, youthful touch to this three-Michelin-starred restaurant. This champagne enthusiast is a worthy ambassador who will be happy to guide you through the different grape varieties and vintages on your next visit to Vaud.
