Evi Hob, the conviviality of an inn, the comfort of a hotel
Bringing the cool spirit of new urban hotel concepts to rural areas is the challenge set by the founders of Evi Hob, who are betting on the renovation and refurbishment of hotel establishments that are struggling to find takers in the regions. To date, two Hobs have already opened their doors, one in Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid (the Hob Fort du Pré) on April 1, 2022 and the other in Bourbon l'Archambault (the Hob Montespan Talleyrand) on April 1ᵉʳ, 2023. A new address is already planned in Orelle, Savoie, at the foot of the Val Thorens ski resort for December 2024.
Crémant festive bubbles
French crémants still suffer from a lack of popularity when compared to champagnes, considered to be of higher quality. Yet both sparkling wines are made using the same traditional method (two fermentations). And some crémants, especially those that have been aged for a long time in the cellar, can easily rival champagnes... Gault&Millau has selected 10 favorites from 100 blind-tasted crémants.
Saint Joseph from generation to generation
Saint-Joseph is an appellation in the northern Rhône Valley, covering 26 communes in the Ardèche and Loire departments. Known for its Syrah-based red wines, the appellation also produces between 10 and 15% white wines from the Roussanne and Marsanne grapes. Land prices remain affordable for young people in this AOC, making it easier for families to pass on land or create new estates. Portraits of the new faces of Saint Joseph.
Proud Vendée strongholds
Forget about a simple rosé on your way back from the beach at Les Sables-d'Olonne, because the fiefs vendéens, vineyards of the Loire and the ocean, also offer pretty red and white wines, sometimes ambitious, but always fresh. The whites are best enjoyed young with oysters or seafood, but also after a few years in the cellar with noble meats such as sea bass or St. Pierre. Red wines are ideal for summer red meats. Our selection of five must-taste fiefs.
