About Yannick Alléno
Tradition, excellence and modernity: these three words embody both Yannick Alléno and Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer perfectly. What could be more natural, then, than to ask the internationally-acclaimed, triple-Michelin-starred chef to take over the flagship restaurant at the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo? Especially for the occasion, the famous restaurant has changed its name, becoming Yannick Alléno à l’Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo.
About Domaine Michel Noellat
Domaine Noellat Michel was born of a demand for Burgundy wines: to invest in the best techniques to serve the grapes and the wine. Six generations since the estate was founded by Félix Noellat in the 19th century have pursued this objective.
In 1980, Michel Noellat added a vaulted cellar beneath the property. Then, in 2017, the winemaker equipped it with an ultra-modern vathouse with 40 temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Today, Sébastien Noellat, Michel's grandson, runs the vineyard with the help of his cousin Sophie.
The Noellat family estate is located in Vosne-Romanée, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. The 20 hectares of vines are spread over around 100 plots. The soils are limestone mixed with clayey marl. The vineyards benefit from a temperate, continental climate.
Sébastien and Sophie Noellat produce red Burgundy wines from Pinot Noir. The white wines are made from Chardonnay and Bourgogne Aligoté. The winemakers harvest and sort the grapes by hand. Then they divide them into small containers to prevent them from being damaged. Finally, the grapes are taken to the winery for vinification.
