Head sommelier : Auberge du Vieux Puits As head sommelier at the Auberge du Vieux Puits (5 toques) in Fontjoncouse, Julien Teyssandier curates a wine cellar with a strong focus on Languedoc wines to complement Gilles Goujon’s cuisine.
Presentation
In the heart of the Corbières region, nestled among the garrigue, vineyards, and rocky outcrops,the Auberge du Vieux Puits (5 toques) is a must-visit destination for food lovers. Since 1992, Gilles Goujon, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, and his wife Marie-Christine have built one of France’s leading restaurants here. It is in this village in the Aude department that Julien Teyssandier serves as head sommelier.
A Wine Cellar in Harmony with the Languedoc
With nearly 900 wines, about 80% of which are from the Languedoc, the restaurant’s wine cellar reflects the chef’s deep connection to his region. Julien Teyssandier guides guests through both the big names and more hidden gems, inviting them on a journey through unexpected bottles.
Complementing cuisine with character
His wine pairings complement a cuisine of bold flavors and striking contrasts, where kid goat, black pig, and lamb are served alongside Mediterranean fish and shellfish, not to mention the impressive cart of house-aged cheeses. Alongside Gilles Goujon, his sons Axel Goujon and Enzo Goujon, and maître d’ Vincent Labarsouque, he is part of an experience that brings together an entire team dedicated to this timeless establishment.
