Le Soufflot
We grabbed lunch in Mersault at Le Soufflot. I had the zucchini starter (seems to be very in season here dive we see it everywhere), the duck with beets (also in season) and the strawberry dessert. A nice enough impromptu lunch.

Chateau Meursault
Morning was tour and tasting at Chateau Meursault (located in Mersault of course). We tasted 8 wines (3 whites and 5 reds) four of which were premier cru and one grand cru). I liked the Pommard the best since it was so full bodied and tasted of dark fruit and Andrea’s favorite was the Corton…

Ed.Em
Dinner was at Ed.Em, a 1-star restaurant in Chassagne-Montrachet. We hadn’t yet been down here and it definitely felt more in the country, with few buildings and lots of vineyards.

William Frachot
The dinner at William Francot was an enjoyable experience overall with fantastic technique and layered flavors, with some great highlights, but other dishes that were only appreciated, but didn’t live. One of the highlights was their version of oeuf en meurette with the sauce as rich as you could ever hope for. I also thought…

Noodle in a Haystack
This week’s dinner was at a small high end ramen restaurant that seats 10-12 people. This was the Spring Extended menu, so dishes change seasonally and the extended menu differs from the weeknight counter menu, but is largely the same as the Friday Sake Pairing Extended menu (which features a couple different dishes and exclusive…
