From Renoir to Charles Collin Champagnes
Winegrower | Champagne

Winegrower | Côtes-du-Rhône
... years spent working with Alain Senderens. “With Alain Senderens, I discovered a philosophy. He cooks for wine and with wine. This is something that asserted itself for me too. So, when Jean-Pierre Perrin asked me to set up a table d’hôte restaurant in the heart of the Beaucastel vineyard, I jumped at the chance to leave Paris.
