Introduction
Managed to get a table for lunch, and appreciated the opportunity to enjoy the lovely ambiance, service and gustatory experience without having to commit to the financial impact of the dinner experience. The 3 course lunch menu was available at 75 euro's. The pre-lunch coupe of champagne was surprisingly pricey. All of us enjoyed the meal, with a proscuitto starter and tuna carpaccio, followed by rouget and then lovely day-boat scallops in a "bouillabaisse" style. Cheeses and a selection of sweets followed. Service was attentive to every detail and made for a lovely experience
Flight 1 - Côte-Rôtie (1 note)

Served at cellar temperature and somewhat subdued. Decanted, but still was shy in the glass. I have every reason to expect this to blossom but patience is essential. Lovely balance and finish but sleepy at this point..more time is needed
Closing
Wonderful lunch, all of us enjoyed this experience
