I finally sampled the cuisine of the new chef at Château Cordeillan-Bages

33-year-old Jean-Luc ROCHA, is in fact hardly new as he has been executive chef at Cordeillan with Thierry Marx since 2005. He has skilfully maintained the modern and inventive style of cuisine that Cordeillan has become known for but with a welcome breath of fresh air.
Jean-Luc obtained Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2007 and this skill along with an obvious pleasure of sharing his passion with the customers bodes well for the next stage in the life of this Relais and Château.

I’ll be back

My son and I still remember our visit and meal and invitation to the kitchen, where at 11pm J- Rocha and his equipe of 5 were concocting a new dessert!
I suggested he make a new lamb dish with wine from Mouton Rothschild ( not the top selection but a cheaper third wine version), and call it ” Mouton au Mouton”!
