Meet Vanessa Massé, sommelier and owner of the restaurant Pure & V in Nice! A restaurant that only serves natural wines, so of course belongs on Raisin’s map.

In 2019, Pure & V came into the well deserved spotlight thanks to a distinction awarded by Le Fooding in their “sophistroquet” (sophisticated little bistro) category.

Only a year later in 2020, Pure & V got its first star in the famous red guide. Now at this soaring rate, to start off 2021, Vanessa Massé is voted sommelier of the year by Michelin! We are proud and thrilled to see a natural wine sommelier recognized at the top of the bill.

Vanessa works closely with the restaurant’s Danish chef, Mads Thomsens, to bring the best possible food and wine pairings that make Pure & V top notch.

Congrats to Vanessa and the whole team for defending in such a fine way, real and alive wines with emotion!
