Philippe Delacourcelle has long been passionate about “wines of the author”, the wines of small producers realised with love, and grown with respect for nature, in bio or in biodynamics. For Philippe, this establishment of these methods in the terroir of Burgundy is a great opportunity to highlight the delicious wines of Burgundy: white, red, chardonnays, pinot noirs, not to mention the aligoté, this typical white grape variety certain to have a few surprises in store for you.
Originally from the Loire Valley, Philippe worked for several years at Bernard Loiseau in Saulieu. He soon found his own culinary style, guided by his passion for spices and Asia. Travel, learning, creations and influences: Philippe Delacourcelle’s talent has always been his ability to find the right dosage for introducing spices in his dishes without losing touch with simple French cuisine, tasty and refined. Longtime chef at the Clos Morillons in Paris, then at the Pre Verre in the Latin quarter, he is the author of several books on spices, on his travels and on culinary Japan. Today, in Boisrouge, he combines this experience and savoir faire with local products and wines.
