Between vineyards and hospitality

Portrait of Guillaume Sévellec – ©Sébastien Billant

It’s the smallest appellation between Pomerol and Saint-Émilion: the Graves de Vayres offers an ideal terroir between sea and countryside, according to Guillaume Sévellec, Chairman and CEO of Château Fage, a 4-star address inaugurated two years ago. Just over three years of work were enough to transform 12,000 m² of vineyards and ruined buildings into a complete site – vineyard, brasserie, hotel – at the instigation of winegrower Yves Glotin, who initially simply wanted to increase the size of his vineyard. With the exception of the manor house and three dovecotes, all the ruined buildings have been redesigned and refurbished to create an inspiring, intimate and well-considered venue. With just 26 keys, the aim here is to offer a personalised welcome and to embrace slow tourism. There’s no reception area, just a large lounge and a first meeting with the ‘lady of the house’, an opportunity to go into more detail together about what you’re looking for long before you arrive.

In the style of an informal concierge service, the best of the region and local activities are on offer: cycling through the vineyards, tastings, cookery classes, yoga in the heart of nature… Reconnecting with the outside world and the character of the terroir anchor the stay, even in the rooms, whose colour palettes reflect those of the different grape varieties. Garnet and straw yellow are complemented by the omnipresent wood, cork and solid oak flooring.

Over and above the commitment on all levels – no fossil fuels used, photovoltaic panels on the roofs, reduction of plastics, recycling of waste, compost, micro-filtered water, etc. – it is the spirit of a family home that prevails at Château Fage. With friendly service, a certain spontaneity of exchange, links that are forged at a safe distance, a relaxed dress code – linen shirts, chinos and shoes made from recycled grape marc. The brasserie has the same easy-going spirit, with a family atmosphere and traditional dishes for lunch: mimosa eggs, calf’s head, minestrone, braised beef cheek… In the evening, the menu is more bistronomic but just as comforting, with straightforward tastes and concentrated juices.

Definitely epicurean, the restaurant naturally favours food and wine pairings and is unique in that it serves no fewer than 16 wines by the glass, including grands crus. ‘ The sophistication here is hidden in the details, the ultra-personalised offer and, ultimately, just the desire to please,’ sums up Guillaume Sévellec.

Just 25 minutes by train from Gare de Lyon, this hotel proudly embraces its identity: L’Esquisse, hôtel culturel (“The Sketch, Cultural Hotel”). A fitting signature in this picturesque village, once a woodcutters’ hamlet that soon became a haven for pre-Impressionist painters.

Among the vineyards of Champagne: Manoir Henri Giraud, 1 hour from Paris

Just 1 hour and 15 minutes by train from Gare de l’Est, the Giraud family’s guest house faces its 10 hectares of vineyards, located in one of the 17 villages classified under the Grand Cru appellation. A contemporary retreat, designed in a warm, family spirit, and dedicated to offering a more complete experience to a privileged few.

In total, there are five suites ranging from 30 to 50 square metres, each with its own distinct personality and, like the rest of the house, subtle nods to the vineyard. While the lines are minimalist, the colours are vibrant, echoing the spirit of the champagne produced here for thirteen generations.

This champagne, known for its unique character, is vinified in small oak barrels from the nearby Argonne Forest and made primarily from the renowned Pinot Noir grapes of Aÿ, resulting in a structured, expressive wine, perfect for fine dining. In keeping with the family spirit and its understated elegance, the guest house, run by chef Elizabeth Cloutier, offers seven evening food and champagne pairings.

A chef with a passion: (re)discover lentils with François Gagnaire…

Posted on by Giorgia

By Laurence Gounel 

thumbnail portrait francois gagnaire veste les collectionneurs1

« This product, which is part of the identity of my region, is still often associated with memories of canteens or the army… yet it is a simple product which, when well prepared, brings great finesse and which, in my opinion, derives its nobility from its versatility. »

François Gagnaire

Lentils are just as natural on family tables as they are on Michelin-starred ones. Easy to use, it can be used all year round and its neutrality offers a wide range of possibilities.

Chef François Gagnaire’s secret to twisting its roundness? Star anise, which adds a lovely freshness. But the chef’s audacity comes in three ‘ways’: as grains, when it is served at Anicia ‘s as lentil caviar (in a caviar tin) with a carp crumble worked with mascarpone, fresh ginger, lime and dill; as flour, to make ’homemade’ blinis, galettes and breads; as a purée, when it is blended until it forms the famous lentil pulp that makes a bavaroise (on which a crumble is placed that resembles the volcanic earth that gives it its name), a velouté or to create desserts such as a crème brûlée, a lentil and blueberry tart or a frangipane cake to celebrate the kings.

The green Puy lentil, a unique and well-deserved appellation in the world, even featured in the France 5 report (french tv show) “Toi l’Auvergnat, quand tu mangeras !“
