Impeccable Sunday dinner@Le Bon Laboureur, Chenonceaux
2013 Les Cabotines, Montlouis, Ludovic Chanson
Last Sunday (14th June) we had a Sunday dinner at Le Bon Laboureur in Chenonceaux, which is always consistently good and the service is invariably very professional. We kicked off with Ludovic Chanson's fine 2013 Les Cabotines, Montouis. This sec both confirms that Ludovic continues to make fine wine but also underlines the strength in Montlouis, even though the appellation is quite small. We followed this with the 2009 Philippe Alliet L'Huisserie. It is a while since I have drunk one of Philippe's Chinons and this was very impressive.
Langoustines
A velouté of asparagus with an oeuf mollet
Tartare of dorade et gambas marinées – very good
Green and white asparagus with two different sauces
Pigeon (above and below)
Conjugaison de ris et tête de veau au présent et au passé,
jus de veau et sauce gribiche
Saddle of lamb with a herb crust
2009 l'Huisserie, Chinon, Philippe Alliet
Lovely rich concentration, soft tannins – impressive
pre-dessert
The spectacular omelette norvégienne
with fraise & vanille icecream
flamed with eau de vie de framboise
le coup de grâce – cherries in kirsch

Beautiful pictures too!
Thank you Peter. Jim
Jealous! We stayed there on our bicycling honeymoon in 2008 and definitely need to get back.
