The Restaurant Le Chevreul in Meursault, south of Beaune in the Bourgogne, is a little gem, with (Trip advisor): des menus et une carte des vins très bien fait. Un bon rapport qualité /prix. Un personnel très compétant, de bon conseil, une cuisine savoureuse. A conseillé.
We recently spent a night in Meursault, preparing the forthcoming Bourgogne Tour by ombiasy WineTours (2016). We will spend a full day and two nights in Meursault in 2016.
This time, we had a wonderful dinner at Le Chevreul. Next two us were two couples seated, who, with the evening progressing and more great wines on the table, started a conversation with us. It turned out that it was the winemaker couple Nadine and Remi Marcillet and the UK importer couple David and Lyne Hammond, who own and run “Bring Burgundy To You”. Domaine Remi and Nadine Marcillet is one of the perhaps 2 dozens producers, whose wines David and Lyne Hammond bring to the UK.
After dessert, we joined them and had another 2 bottles or so of wine together. The following day, Annette and I visited Remi and Nadine Marcillet at their domaine in Fussey.
Dinner at Le Chevreuil in Meursault
Eléonore Matrot and her husband Chef Tiago Araujo, took over the hotel and the restaurant in 2011.
Eléonore is the daughter of Pascale and Thierry Matrot from the well-known Domaine Matrot in Meursault. The Matrot domaine is one of the oldest estate-bottlers in Burgundy and one of the largest and most important properties in Meursault (22 hectares). 100% estate-bottling has been practiced at the domaine since Thierry's grandfather, Joseph Matrot, took it over in 1908.It is widely represented on the wine lists of France's greatest restaurants, and has been distributed in the United States for over thirty years.
The Domaine Matrot wines are well represented on the wine list of Le Chevreuil.
L'Hôtel Restaurant Le Chevreuil: Au coeur du village de Meursault, l'Hôtel Restaurant Le Chevreuil, anciennement connu sous le nom Restaurant de la Mère Daugier, est un établissement historique de la capitale des grands vins blancs de Bourgogne. Créé en 1866, cette institution accueillait la célèbre Paulée de Meursault au début du siècle dernier. Eléonore et Tiago, jeune couple ambitieux, a relevé le défi de redonner une jeunesse à cet établissement. Leur objectif : que vous passiez un moment de détente et de plaisir gustatif à la hauteur de la qualité des vins de Bourgogne.
Tiago est un chef créatif et méticuleux. Il recherche de la précision dans ses plats. Les produits frais sont travaillés avec soin et passion dans le souci du respect des saveurs de chacun. Il vous propose également des plats bourguignons traditionnels et la fameuse terrine chaude de la mère Daugier, spécialité du restaurant depuis 1872. Issue d'une famille de vigneron, Eléonore est très attachée au terroir. La sélection des vins est à l'image de son amour pour la Bourgogne. Souriante, elle vous réserve un accueil chaleureux.
Tiago (“J'ai suivi des stages chez Troisgros, Au Chassagne et chez Bajade”) propose une cuisine semi-gastronomique à base de produits frais, de saison et de qualité : “Nous avons plusieurs menus de 26 à 58 € avec bien sûr le menu de la Mère Daugier à 29 € et, côté vins, nous avons fait évoluer la carte avec dix-huit meursaults, dix-huit premiers crus, six puligny, huit premiers crus, quelques chassagne, volnay, etc.”
Domaine Remi and Nadine Marcillet
Bringing Burgundy To You has a nice write-up about Domaine Remi and Nadine Marcillet: Proprietors, Remi and Nadine Marcillet run their Domaine totally on their own. With 10 hectares spread across Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, Savigny-les-Beaune and Chorey-les-Beaune this is a huge task.
Located in the picturesque village of Fussey on the borders of the Hautes-Côtes of Beaune and Nuits, their appellations include a wonderful white, fresh Aligoté, Bourgogne Chardonnay and a tiny quantity of Savigny-les-Beaune white (just one or two barrels each year, 300 to 600 bottles). Their reds include deliciously fruity Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, the more spicy Hautes-Côtes de Nuits and the typically red fruits of a Savigny-les-Beaune and a well-structured Chorey-les-Beaune. This latter wine is fermented in an open-top wooden vat and produces less than 2,000 bottles per year.
Nadine and Rémi produce around 55,000 bottles a year and the passion they bring to their winemaking is reflected in every glass. The Domaine is a true hidden secret of Burgundy and their wines offer astonishing value for money.
