Rustic / Fun
L’Auberge du Vieux Vigneron in Corpeau across the RN from Puligny Montrachet
Jean Charles Fagot is a winemaker
and restaurateur who bounds through the room with great enthusiasm. Simple
food is prepared over a walk-in fireplace. Not a complicated place, but
good hearty food and local wines at good prices.

Caves Madeleine in Beaune
Simple
food at incredible prices. There is no printed wine list – cases are
stacked up along a wall – as the bottles sell, new cases are opened, many
surprising labels at amazing prices. The jovial host “LoLo” walks you
through the chalk board menu and wine selection, which he has taken great pride
in building.
