The partner's word

L'Essensiel sits within the Domaine de Champlong, combining a hotel and art gallery between Lyon, Burgundy and Auvergne. The site sells packaged experiences and gift menus, for example multi‑movement menus with wine pairings for two. The Domaine and its tables belong to Toques Blanches Lyonnaises and Maîtres Cuisiniers de France; the restaurant appears in curated guides. A warm, welcoming, intimate château atmosphere unfolds amid 64 hectares of greenery with adjacent golf and spa facilities and a convivial, personalised reception by Véronique. The restaurant presents modern "cuisine d’auteur" with a seasonal, product‑led philosophy. Menus are multi‑course tasting or prix‑fixe formats that emphasise local producers and estate wines; the team stages offerings from a weekday Market Menu to multi‑course festive and discovery menus with wine pairings. Olivier Boizet is the chef. He runs hands‑on cooking workshops for guests and appears at local culinary events and dinner‑shows. Specialties include Noix de Saint-Jacques (broccoli, kumquat); Barbue (Vitelotte potato, smoked leeks); Sanglier (quince, parsnip); Butternut (cèpes, escargots); Cod (chorizo, sot‑l'y‑laisse); Laqued canette (duck, orange, potimarron).
