Gault&Millau's review 2026

In the heart of the Beaujolais region, in the famous village of Fleurie, the Auberge du Cep is an exemplary experiment by local chef Aurélien Mérot and his wife Camille. It's a beautiful village house with bourgeois interiors, designed for a classic, inspired moment, able to celebrate the region with hauteur. The €67 menu offers a fine distillation of the terroir, with consommé vigneron, peasant pork belly confit in Beaujolais, vegetables and vegetable broth to make chabrot, soft-cooked Arctic char and kohlrabi, beurre blanc with whey, dombes farm duck, bone-roasted filet lacquered with citrus fruit, glazed turnip, braised leg with Beaujolais, turnip and gingerbread parmentier, bourbon vanilla and Grand Marnier soufflé, roasted pineapple marmalade, pineapple-lemon sablé and coconut sorbet. Good food and wine pairings.
