The story

Les Belles Perdrix de Troplong Mondot – Michelin-Starred Dining in Saint-Emilion

A Restaurant Rooted in the Vines

Perched in the heart of the Saint-Emilion vineyards, Les Belles Perdrix de Troplong Mondot is a Michelin-starred restaurant that pairs technical precision with genuine warmth. The dining room opens onto a panoramic view of the estate’s vines, creating a setting that feels both grand and serene. The atmosphere is deliberately relaxed—a place where refinement and ease meet.

The Team Behind the Experience

Chef David Charrier has led the kitchen for over a decade, developing a style that prioritises clarity of flavour over complexity. He works without a signature dish, instead offering a menu that evolves constantly, guided by what the season and the garden provide. Alongside him, pastry chef Adrien Salavert—named Champion de France du Dessert 2026 and recognised by the Michelin guide with the Passion Dessert mention—creates desserts that are restrained, precise, and built around fresh, quality ingredients.

The front-of-house, led by maître d’hôtel Anne-Sophie Besson, is attentive and unhurried. Service here is as considered as the cooking: discreet, sincere, and focused on detail.

A Cuisine Shaped by the Land

The kitchen draws heavily from the estate’s 6,800 m² permaculture vegetable garden. This is not a garnish or a talking point—it is the engine of the menu. Chef Charrier builds his modern cuisine around what is picked that day, supported by a network of local suppliers, 90% of whom are within a 30-minute radius. The result is a menu that feels rooted in place, with dishes that are imaginative yet direct.

The restaurant also holds a Michelin Green Star, reflecting a commitment that runs through every aspect of the operation: waste is minimised, organic scraps feed the estate’s hens and pigs, and energy use is carefully managed.

The Wine List

The cellar at Les Belles Perdrix is as thoughtfully curated as the menu. It offers a broad selection of labels, many from the estate itself, at prices that are notably accessible for a restaurant of this calibre. Guests staying at the Château can coordinate with the sommelier in advance to have bottles opened and ready before the meal.

A Michelin Star in the Vineyard

Since receiving its Michelin star, Les Belles Perdrix has become a destination for those seeking a modern, ingredient-led meal in one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated wine regions. The recognition is earned not through spectacle, but through consistency, sincerity, and a clear sense of place.
