The Hostellerie of Levernois<br />
incomparable hospices leads us to the<br />
Hostellerie du Levernois, situated in the heart<br />
of the Côte de Beaune in five hectars of gree-<br />
nery. Out of this magnificent building where<br />
the beauty of the Bourgogne stands out,<br />
Suzanne and Jean-Louis Bottigliero have made<br />
a veritable haven of peace and friendliness.<br />
The cuisine of the Chef, Philippe Augé, is refi-<br />
ned, delicious and has also been starred by the<br />
Philippe Augé<br />
Michelin, recreates<br />
itself with every sea-<br />
son. It does not mat-<br />
ter which time of<br />
year it is, warmth is<br />
to be expected and<br />
encourages guests<br />
to come back to this<br />
enchanting place,<br />
again and again.<br />
Immediately after having left Levernois, we<br />
continue our Route des Grands Crus until the<br />
southern point of the Côte d’Or, through the<br />
Pommard, Volnay then Meursault and<br />
Puligny-Montrachet vineyards.<br />
Our last stop is in the village of Chagny, which<br />
marks the beginning of the Saône-et-Loire<br />
region. After three generations of Lameloise<br />
had succeeded each other in the old XVth century<br />
post house transformed into a hotel, the<br />
baton was passed onto Eric Pras in 2009, a<br />
young Chef around forty years old, and<br />
Frédéric Lamy, General Director.<br />
Lameloise<br />
Awarded three stars<br />
by the Guide du<br />
Michelin, Eric Pras’s<br />
cuisine combines in<br />
complete austerity,<br />
tradition and innovation,<br />
all whilst<br />
using seasonal products.<br />
The best com-<br />
Eric Pras<br />
pliment one can<br />
make about his cooking cannot be translated<br />
into words, but is just a smile that illuminates<br />
the guest’s face at the end of a meal and the<br />
feeling of being as if at home, except that the<br />
house is here the Lameloise.<br />
While the work of the Chef and his team<br />
reaches an end, the afternoon is already well<br />
on its way and it is already time for us to go<br />
home. A last look in the kitchen draws our<br />
attention to a sign “To be happy is to love what<br />
one does”. Is it not the most beautiful way to<br />
arrive at the end of this Road of Happiness?<br />
