Le VIII
In the 8th century, the sin of gluttony wasn’t a flaw… it was an art form!
What if the number 8 became your new lucky number… for food lovers?
In Pommard, Château la Commaraine is home to a little gastronomic gem that could well set your taste buds alight! Welcome to Le VIII, a restaurant where ancient stone walls meet haute cuisine and where every plate has a story to tell. All set against the backdrop of vaulted cellars that are a feast for the eyes even before you sit down to eat!
In the kitchen, Jérôme Rioux, under the culinary direction of Christophe Raoux, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, transforms exceptional ingredients into veritable works of art. Vegetables from the kitchen garden, seasonal produce, daring combinations and masterful cooking techniques… Here, creativity knows no bounds, but flavour always takes centre stage! And thanks to the open kitchen, food lovers enjoy a front-row seat to the show.
Why such a mysterious name? ‘Le VIII’ refers to the eight sub-plots of the Clos de la Commaraine, a lovely nod to the vineyard surrounding the château. An inspiration that is reflected right through to the eight-course tasting menu. As for the wine cellar, the great wines of Burgundy are naturally on offer, alongside some wonderful discoveries to accompany this culinary adventure.
An experience to be savoured on the Burgundy Grand Cru Route, where heritage, vineyards and gastronomy go together a treat.
