I prepared our wine list featuring 1,800 wines for guests who come to discover the region. I offer grand crus from Bordeaux as well as a magnificent selection of wines from elsewhere. This effort earned the restaurant a spot as a finalist in the “2017 Tour des Cartes” in the Michelin-starred Luxury Hotels and Restaurants category. Continue the experience with a wine-tasting class and a châteaux tour.
