A Timeless Retreat: Discover the Magic of Hôtel de Pavie

Amid the prestigious vineyards of Saint-Émilion, the Perse family-owned Hôtel de Pavie epitomizes French elegance and refinement. This iconic destination invites guests on a memorable journey through Bordeaux’s spectacular terroir and gastronomy, blending tradition and modernity. With 17 guestrooms and suites offering breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards, this timeless retreat promises a unique summer experience.

La Table de Pavie – A Culinary Masterpiece

The heart of Hôtel de Pavie’s allure lies in its exclusive gastronomic experience at La Table de Pavie. Under the visionary guidance of Chef Yannick Alléno, this two-Michelin-starred restaurant celebrates the wealth and breadth of Bordeaux’s culinary tradition with a modern twist. Chef Alléno, along with Executive Chef Sébastien Faramond and Pastry Chef Sébastien Nabaile, elevates traditional recipes into contemporary masterpieces. Signature dishes like garbure, oysters, and strawberry soup are reimagined, embodying the chef’s creative vision.

 

Emphasizing sustainability, La Table de Pavie sources ingredients from local producers who respect the land and its traditions. The commitment to seasonality is evident in dishes like ‘Balade presque végétale,’ featuring up to 30 fresh or fermented ingredients. Every choice reflects a dedication to sustainable gastronomy, with green waste and leftovers transformed into organic fertilizer for the vegetable garden.

A Commitment to Sustainable Gastronomy

The chefs at La Table de Pavie go beyond simply cooking; they repurpose every part of their ingredients. For example, less desirable cuts of pigeon are used to create a delectable terrine, while leftover bread is transformed into bread meal. This innovative approach minimizes waste and honors the local terroir, reinforcing a commitment to sustainability.

Beyond the Table: Château Pavie and More

A stay at Hôtel de Pavie is incomplete without exploring Château Pavie, a Premier Grand Cru Classé A estate. Guests can delve into the craftsmanship of winemaking with tours that include vineyard walks, cellar visits, and wine tastings. For those seeking adventure, the hotel offers bicycle tours through the picturesque vineyards, providing a delightful way to experience the natural beauty of the region.

Diverse Dining Experiences

Hôtel de Pavie extends its culinary excellence to three more dining concepts: L’Envers du Décor, Le Bistrot du Clocher, and Le Glacier des Vignobles. L’Envers du Décor, the first wine bar in Saint-Émilion, offers market cuisine in a charming setting. Le Bistrot du Clocher provides a casual Italian-inspired dining experience, perfect for a relaxing lunch. For dessert lovers, Le Glacier des Vignobles tempts with artisanal gelatos and pastries crafted by Pastry Chef Sébastien Nabaile.

Hôtel de Pavie offers a journey into the heart of Saint-Émilion’s rich culture, exquisite cuisine, and unparalleled natural beauty. Whether indulging in the culinary delights of La Table de Pavie or exploring the renowned vineyards, each moment promises to be an unforgettable experience.
