Following the tasting of the wines of Jean Luc Thunevin, including the famous Château Valandraud and the popular Bad Boy, at the „garage“, where the amazing career of Jean Luc Thunevin began ...
... we went to Chai Pascal for a simple dinner. We had charcuterie and fromage, paired with a 2012 Château Gaillard and a 2010 Abel brut nature, a Crémant de Bordeaux.
There is only a very limited number of wine bars in St. Emilion. Chai Pascal, 37, Rue Guadet, is my favorite. Chai Pascal is a small, relaxed place, with lovely wines and a limited but interesting food menu. Note that there is only one chef in the kitchen.
Chai Pascal is run by Pascal Fauvel, and Catherine Papon-Nouvel, the owner of three St. Emilion chateaux: Château Gaillard, Château Petit Gravet Ainé and Clos Saint Julien. Catherine’s wines are of course on offer but also many of her colleagues’ wines.
We concluded the evening with a night tour of Saint Emilion, from 10 pm to 11 pm.
