A PASSIONATE TEAM IN THE KITCHEN
After honing his culinary skills at Le Chabichou in Courchevel and working with the eminent Anne-Sophie Pic in Valence, chef Vivien Rouleaud is now expressing his culinary poetry at Chez Jeannette at the Commanderie de Peyrassol. Driven by a desire to bring out the very best in nature's produce, Vivien Rouleaud works with the fruit and vegetables from our organic kitchen garden, scours the estate for wild flowers and berries, and seeks out exceptional local producers to create a cuisine that is as sincere as it is delicate.
Benjamin le Balch, our meticulous and inventive sous-chef, makes the most of fresh seasonal produce. This summer, his creation based on courgette, burnt, raw, cooked, with black lemon, basil, olive oil and bergamot charmed gourmets. Marie Bousquet, the chef de partie, is a real asset: the precision of her seasonings and her creativity add great delicacy to the Chez Jeannette menu. In August, she created a creamy starter for your taste buds: fresh field tomatoes, fig leaves and creamy peanuts. The precision of pastry chef Victor Lorente turns his desserts into daring plays on textures, combining flavours with disconcerting freshness. This season, he has composed a voluptuous sweet with Solliès figs, cream infused with garden herbs and 8-year-old balsamic vinegar. In the dining room, an attentive and smiling team offers a service that reflects the spirit of the place.
