Both overlooked the Yonne river with its beautiful autumnal colors . Our room was light green and pink , while our friends' room was black and gold . Very different in style, but both exquisitely appointed in the best taste imaginable. For the first night our chef was Jean-Michel, Michel Lorain's son. On our second night we tasted the fare of the father.
Words are short to describe the divine pleasure of the two sublime dinners.
As we had between ourselves several identical dishes on both nights, I'll just list here dryly the different items and wines we had for both dinners. First and foremost - a great wine. Really dry but rich on the palate with a touch of sweetish tone that hangs onto the long finish. 1990 Puligny - Les Combettes, Dom. Leflaive Flowers, pears and apples on the nose.
