Muscat de Beaumes de Venise is like a candy !
Golden, menthol notes, this sweet wine goes very well with citrus.
Lemon peel brings the best out of this wine and so does the Bay leaf
This is a light and refreshing match

We purchased l'Oustalet last summer and after a very busy season, we closed the restaurant last November for refurbishment.  L'Oustalet is right in the centre of the village of Gigondas on the "place du village". 

Last week we re-opened and the restaurant has a new look, a new chef,
and a new wine list!  The Chef, Aurélien Laget was sous-chef at the famous 2 Michelin star restaurant Chez Bru in Eygalières. The specials menu changes daily following the seasons and according to what takes the Chef's fancy in the market.

It is the height of the Truffle season in Provence at the moment so of course we have a special truffle menu.  We have a wide selection of wines from our fellow winemakers around France. Our dishes have been designed to match certain wines and the sommelier can advise customers accordingly.
