L'Écrin de Yohann Chapuis

L'Écrin de Yohann Chapuis, the intimate gastronomic restaurant of Maison Greuze in Tournus, occupies a recently reworked historic building converted from Jean Ducloux's legacy. The house displays distinctions including a Michelin star and recognition from guides and associations. It involves fresco artists, joiners, porcelain makers and textile houses to extend the chef's art of the table, and draws on trusted local suppliers and artisans for terroir products and micro-productions. The dining room is chic and cosy, finished in noble materials with a textured wall and a light well. The space is conceived as a warm cocoon that seats 28 guests. The cuisine offers a creative, modern take on Burgundian produce, magnifying ingredients through perfected cookery, controlled seasoning and inventive combinations. A chef-led carte blanche ('menu confiance') evolves with the seasons, the market and the inspiration of the moment; the sommelier proposes a carefully curated wine selection to pair with dishes. Yohann Chapuis, the starred chef, leads the house with his partner Stéphanie and brings experience from grandes maisons back to Tournus.
