Wine list
Gaëlle, with her passion for wine, is responsible for the wine list at L’Auberge. Often straying off the beaten track and discovering rare gems, she selects, as far as possible, vintages from small-scale producers whom she and her husband meet and consult with to ensure the best possible pairing with their dishes.
The cellar at this bistro near Bourg-en-Bresse gives pride of place to wines from the neighbouring departments of Mâconnais and Bugey, while not forgetting the wines of Burgundy and the Rhône Valley. She has opted for treasures from regional estate owners for her selection of Bordeaux vintages and has been loyal to the same grower in her choice of Chablis since her arrival in 2000.
