AU 36

Great food and great champagne! Poulet was wonderful on a cool crisp day.

Hautvillers is a tiny but upscale village and this is a polished and trendy restaurant featuring Champagne tasting and retail sales. We had lunch there and loved it. Beautiful modern design, sharp attentive staff, and a focused menu with fresh and slightly modern interpretations of poulet femier & saucisse aux lentillions. There are various tasting flights that are kind of California in their approach of delivery but which I grudgingly admit work wonderfully. There are three basic grapes commonly used in Champagne and you can taste them in a flight where each glass of wine is one grape only being Chardonnay, then Meunier and then Pinot Noir. Really a fun process. The catch is that a modern high end restaurant, great staff, and quality food has to be paid for so despite being in a small village, the pricing is more big city. These people work hard and deliver. Highly recommend.

The food is just amazing; friendly people and of course very good champaign!

The great thing about this place is that this is where we learned about our champagne tastes. The large tasting selection of 6 glasses gave us great insight into what grape we like in champagne. The food is delicious and typically French. A bit on the expensive side though
