HISTORIC HIGH

POSTED ON FEBRUARY 27, 2018

Im on a revisit here. After a fortnight of shooting my TV show (several years ago, for ET Now) in France  it was only this stunningly beautiful historic chateau in Epernay that magnetised me back again.

And since I’d already shot at the Michelin starred restaurant here, this time I dine at the resolutely modern setting of the brasserie Le Jardin which dazzles. It is a true emotional break for two Michelin starred Philippe Mille, here he plays the childhood memories card to our delight, casseroles, fancy combinations and the taste of superb local  produce  accompanied ofcourse  by  fine champagnes. Along with the charming knowledgable locals Edwige, Romain and Camille we raise a toast in the region of Champagne with champagne to the dynamic owner and many generations of  Laurent Gardinier’s family who ensure that  Domaine LesCrayeres continues to ooze French charm and character.

At the magnificent Domaine Les Crayeres: Romain flanked by Edwige and Camille.
