Gastronomy choice: Charles Coulombeau
They're barely in their thirties, and have often acquired extensive experience in large, beautiful, multi-talented establishments. Today, they have opened or are running their own restaurants, making the choice of gastronomy. Gault&Millau offers a series of interviews with young chefs whose approach proves that haute cuisine is still a dream, but also that rigor and ambition are also a driving force for some of those who launch themselves into this profession. Let's continue with Charles Coulombeau, of the 3-toque restaurant La Maison dans le Parc, in Nancy.

Design for gastronomy

Coup de Jus : R.Pouillon & Fils
Second special episode of our "Coup de Jus" series. We meet Fabrice Pouillon, winemaker at R. Pouillon & Fils in Mareuil-sur-Ay. He tells us about his Solera cuvée, rated 18/20 in our book.
Crémant festive bubbles
French crémants still suffer from a lack of popularity when compared to champagnes, considered to be of higher quality. Yet both sparkling wines are made using the same traditional method (two fermentations). And some crémants, especially those that have been aged for a long time in the cellar, can easily rival champagnes... Gault&Millau has selected 10 favorites from 100 blind-tasted crémants.
Un pâtissier, un artiste: a collab
Gault&Millau continues its series of gourmet conversations with an unexpected meeting between Adrien Bozzolo, head pastry chef at the Mandarin Oriental, Paris, and Nisrine Bouazzaoui Grillié, nose at Givaudan.
The K2 Collections, Winter awakening
After months of inactivity, the resorts' seasonal establishments have just welcomed their first customers. Such is the case for Le K2 Collections hotels (three in Courchevel and one in Val-d'Isère, open from mid-December to mid-April), which, despite operating four months a year, prepare for this moment all year round. Jean-Alain Baccon and Sébastien Vauxion, respectively co-director and executive pastry chef at K2 Collections - the latter is also our Pâtissier de l'Année 2023 - explained to us, a few days before the opening, how they prepare for a new season.

The capital of the Brittany region has much more to offer than the famous rue de la Soif, a student playground. Rennes, like many cities in Western France, is a magnet for young talent. The proof is in our Top 5.
2022, a year of many tastes
Guides, books, interviews, meetings, events, conferences, cooking demos, prizes... Throughout 2022, Gault&Millau did its utmost to fulfill its mission of unearthing and supporting all the talents of French gastronomy. Here's a look back at the key moments of this fine vintage.
Un pâtissier, un artiste: a collab
Gault&Millau begins a series of "sweet" cross-portraits to share the behind-the-scenes story of two creative partners. Far from being commissioned, these collaborations are born of conversation, dialogue and free exchange. First meeting: Pierre Hermé, pastry chef, and Octave Marsal, artist, who together imagined a Christmas collection.
Saint Joseph from generation to generation
Saint-Joseph is an appellation in the northern Rhône Valley, covering 26 communes in the Ardèche and Loire departments. Known for its Syrah-based red wines, the appellation also produces between 10 and 15% white wines from the Roussanne and Marsanne grapes. Land prices remain affordable for young people in this AOC, making it easier for families to pass on land or create new estates. Portraits of the new faces of Saint Joseph.
