Restaurant and wine cellar in Tournus
Wines, a passion
In Burgundy
Before undertaking his major renovations in 2012, Jean-Michel Carrette built the winery. True to his Burgundian roots, he rarely misses a tasting at wineries near and far, and he frequently hosts winemakers at his home.
Over the years, he has built a wine list featuring natural wines for every budget. "The vine is a vibrant sailboat in the ocean of the sky," reads a sign on a wall of the house. That says it all.
To accompany, to taste, to savor
The wine list
With a shared passion for wine, Jean-Michel Carrette and his sommelier have worked together to create a wine list with over 3000 wines and a wine cellar which features some 15,000 bottles. As part of this lengthy process, they met with wine growers, driven by a desire to find the very best vintages.
The wine list includes plenty of options for flawless food and wine pairings. Guests can enjoy wines from Burgundy, the Vallée du Rhône, Beaujolais, Bordeaux, Alsace and the Jura, along with champagne and other sparkling wines for the ultimate celebrations: experience the very best that French wines and expert winegrowers have to offer.
Organic and biodynamic wines
Quality at heart
Behind the kitchens, partly buried, the wine cellar of Aux Terrasses' gourmet restaurant houses wines produced by winegrowers and offers a wide range of organic and biodynamic wines, in response to a growing desire for naturally produced wines with real local character.
