Gourmet Restaurant in Savoie
A moment for savouring wine together
Once a month, La Bouitte Gourmet Restaurant invites an exceptional winegrower to share with its guests the wines that have marked his or her life.
Rare bottles due to their age or vintage, legendary cuvées, works of art created by the fusion of winemakers with their terroirs. These sublime wines, that are part of France's heritage and often come with a prohibitive price tag, are offered here to the guests of La Bouitte.
Meanwhile, using the selection of wines as their inspiration, Chefs René and Maxime Meilleur propose a hand-crafted menu, created dish by dish in the manner of a couturier to match the slightest aromatic variations in the vintages, prolonging the fullness of their flavours and intensifying the pairings.
Fusion, dialogue and dissonance, the combinations transcend the whole to create a new essence of clarity, precision and balance. And it can take up to four years for the chefs to perfect their bespoke creations.
Each wine-tasting evening at La Bouitte is a moment in time, ephemeral but forever engraved. An unprecedented learning experience for guests, whether discerning aficionados or simple epicureans, these evenings open up an unexpected field of exploration.
