Château LA CROIZILLE Grand Cru Classé: Visit & Tasting

Le Tertre

In a small cobbled street in the village, this restaurant has been given a new lease of life by an accomplished professional couple, who took over in 2020. Building on classical foundations, the creative dishes are inspired and harmonious. They showcase produce from the region: Landes duck, Basque country trout, fish from the ports of Aquitaine. In an extension to the dining room, the wine cellar hewn out of the monolithic stone has a table for four that is in great demand in the evening.

Les Belles Perdrix de Troplong Mondot

Perched on a small hillock, the highest point of Saint Émilion, this prestigious château lives up to our expectations. In this special place, the pared-down dining room opens onto the magnificent vineyard. Here, preserving biodiversity is a priority and every effort is made to respect the natural environment. In line with this ethos, chef David Charrier concocts wholesome food by drawing on perfectly mastered techniques. His preparations are precise; his dishes highlight produce from the estate and rigorously selected small-scale producers. The chef is capable of elevating a simple bouchot mussel with a fine seafood jelly with saffron, chanterelles, a chiffonade of Mexican tarragon and a shiny mouclade sauce: an incredible feat! The service fosters a certain joie de vivre and the wine list allows you to indulge without breaking the bank.

La Table de Pavie

In the world-famous village of Saint Émilion, Yannick Alléno rigorously supervises the restaurant of this luxury hotel, a former convent whose nuns offered sanctuary to pilgrims and travellers. Alléno has recruited Sébastien Faramond and a trusted team, who turn out finely tuned dishes that lean towards the terroir of Southwest France, albeit with the sauces and reductions that are the trademark and signature of executive chef Alléno. The starter, almost but not quite vegetarian thanks to wafer-thin shavings of Gascony bacon, invites the diner to explore Aquitaine’s culinary cornucopia, while the dessert, a warm chocolate tart, Maury-flavoured sauce and an ice cream perfumed with Tahitian vanilla, signed Sébastien Nabaille, is wickedly tempting. Needless to say, the superb wines of Saint-Émilion will play a prominent role in your meal.

L'Huitrier Pie

In this famous wine-growing village, the enthusiasm and talent of the young owners, Camille and Soufiane, take us on a journey over the course of the meal. Appealing dishes featuring carefully selected ingredients (heirloom tomatoes from the South-West, raspberries, garden verbena and burrata; just-seared John Dory, Coco de Paimpol beans). In fine weather, you can sit out in the pretty little courtyard.

L'Envers du Décor

In the heart of this iconic wine village, a few steps from the bell tower, the picturesque red façade of this bistro catches the eye. Inside lies an elegant vintage décor with a zinc counter and leather bench seating. The menu runs the gamut of classic French staples from calf’s liver to rum baba. Fine selection of reasonably priced wines.

Château Grand Barrail

This romantic-looking château built in 1902 lies in the heart of the Saint-Émilion vineyards. It blends a time-honoured setting with contemporary design and diners sit either in the Art Nouveau-inspired lounges or on the beautiful terrace that looks out over the grounds and a sea of vines. Bistronomy dishes are served at lunch: eg roast aubergine and smoked caviar with tomato and fig balsamic condiment. The dinner menu features more ambitious cuisine (Charolais beef tenderloin, "pain-jus" with red wine, potato espuma with truffle oil).

Logis de la Cadène

In the heart of the town, this logis dating back to 1848 is one of Saint Émilion’s oldest restaurants. Picture plush, cosy dining rooms done up in the same elegant vein as the guestrooms available for overnight stays. The new chef, Thibaut Gamba, crafts delicate, subtle dishes that showcase local produce as much as possible. Some of the fruit and vegetables come from the estate’s farm, as does the honey. Splendid wine cellar, with a knockout selection of Bordeaux reds, ideal when sampled with the establishment’s superlative range of cheeses.
