Autumn Flavors in Puligny-Montrachet

The Taste of Autumn overview

While we might be best known for our wines, Puligny-Montrachet, where COMO Le Montrachet is located, is also at the centre of one of France’s best regions for autumn produce. As the season turns, I find myself seeking out gourmet, rustic ingredients, sourcing squash and onions from around Dijon, fresh fish from Crisenon, and apples and pears from Santenay, just seven kilometres from our village. The natural abundance feeds my menus, which lean into hearty, rich flavours, and dishes that are slow-cooked and roasted. To get inspired, I get outdoors and engage my senses, exploring Burgundy’s autumn in all its glory.
