For our first article on the people behind Monaco\u2019s biggest employer, the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Bains de Mer, discover a former rugby-player who bet it all on his passion for wine.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>\u201cI was never really destined for the job\u201d, says Patrice Frank. Born in the French city of Angoul\u00e8me in 1967, the current Head Sommelier at Monaco\u2019s Hotel de Paris had an unusual career start. After a sports-focused French baccalaureate, Frank played rugby professionally for six years, before settling for a law degree in Bordeaux. \u201cOne summer, a former step-parent of mine who had an upscale establishment asked me if I wanted to work for the season. I thought why not! I figured serving wine must not be too difficult and that I should be able to do it.&#8221; But a temporary stint soon turned into a permanent position. &#8220;I never set foot at university again!&#8221; jokes Patrice Frank.\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>After a sommelier diploma, Patrice Frank joins his step-family\u2019s establishment. Several other jobs follow: he buys a hotel-restaurant in the Charente department, works as a sommelier in Luxembourg, before creating the <em>Association des Sommeliers Poitou-Charentes et Sud-Vend\u00e9e<\/em>. It\u2019s through the organisation that he first hears of a position at Monaco\u2019s Hotel de Paris. The Head Sommelier remembers: &#8220;Frankly, I don&#8217;t really know what attracted me to Monaco at the time. It was the opportunity which I found appealing. Perhaps all just a matter of circumstance,\u201d he says.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Frankly, I don\u2019t really know what attracted me to Monaco at the time<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-starting-work-during-the-f1-grand-prix-week\">Starting work during the F1 Grand Prix week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>In Monaco, he\u2019s thrown in the deep end. &#8220;I started four days before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2020\/05\/these-f1-drivers-left-their-mark-on-monaco-grand-prix\/\">Monaco\u00a0F1 Grand Prix<\/a>. It was massive. I was supposed to lead a team of fourteen sommeliers, but I was a complete spectator. The Hotel de Paris was a machine driving itself, the teams were all perfectly autonomous. I brought my love for my work and my dedication but that obviously did not make the success of the 2000 F1 Grand Prix. It was a beautiful challenge but in that first week, I asked myself: what are you doing here mate? I came from the provinces. In front of me was an entirely different world. Everything was going too quickly. It was all too big,&#8221; he says.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-wine-cellar-with-300-000-bottles\">A wine cellar with 300,000 bottles <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>But his passion for his work push him to try and understand this new environment, which he eventually comes to embrace fully. And what made him stick? Frank realised he had been given the once in a lifetime chance of working in the biggest hotel wine cellar in the world. Today, he is grateful for his work environment, for its beautiful setting, and for the clients of the Hotel de Paris. \u201cAt the Hotel de Paris, the client\u2019s expectations are high, you can\u2019t rest on your laurels,\u201d he says. Patrice Frank helps the hotel\u2019s clientele navigate some 300,000 bottles of wine, that cost anywhere from 80\u20ac to 28,000\u20ac.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>Patrice Frank is also part of the team of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2020\/09\/jean-luc-biamonti-the-sbm-has-a-very-difficult-winter-ahead\/\">Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Bains de Mer<\/a> which chooses the Hotel de Paris\u2019 wine collection. \u201cWe try to keep in mind the big picture. We have to be versatile and able to accommodate everything, from a banquet to a <em>t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate\u00a0<\/em>dinner, and in both cases, we have to fully respect the client\u2019s wishes.\u201d A demanding position, which Frank enjoys. \u201cWhat I like best is being in contact with the client, but also with my team. I come from rugby, where teamwork is key. It&#8217;s the same here. I care about every single one of my sommeliers,\u201d he says.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It\u2019s always a pleasure to taste good wine, regardless of whether it costs 5\u20ac or 400\u20ac. It\u2019s all a question of balance and authenticity<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-life-long-passion-for-wine\">A life-long passion for wine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>Patrice Frank talks of wine with the same profoundly human tone with which he tells us about his team. \u201cIt\u2019s always a pleasure to taste good wine, regardless of whether it costs 5\u20ac or 400\u20ac. It\u2019s all a question of balance and authenticity. That\u2019s the most important for me, that the product is well made and that it carries within it the spirit of the land that produced it,\u201d he says.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>And to succeed in the profession? A good sommelier needs one quality, he tells us: they need to be objective. \u201cAfter so many years, the job hasn\u2019t really changed, but I\u2019ve developed a lot as a person. I have more experience,\u201d he says. When we ask him about his tips for celebrating the new year, Patrice Frank admits that it\u2019s difficult to choose wines without knowing the menu. \u201cBut parties are always a good excuse for drinking champagne. You can get through an entire meal with only champagne, especially if you throw some vintage in here and there,\u201d he says with the daring tone of someone who is a master of their craft.\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The love affair between Monaco\u2019s H\u00f4tel de Paris and Head Sommelier Patrice Frank started 20 years ago, but like any
