Arnaud Donckele<\/strong> is the head of two starred restaurants: Cheval Blanc la Vague d’Or <\/em>in Saint Tropez and Pl\u00e9nitude<\/em> in Paris. He has already been working with Ruinart<\/strong> for several years. But in 2023, it is a more advanced alliance that is being put in place.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Norman chef has become familiar with Ruinart, designing the menu for several events for the Champagne House. They share mutual values: the quest for excellence, a love of the land, respect for nature, a sense of transmission and an omnipresent creativity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Originally from Normandy, Arnaud Donckele has been immersed in gastronomy since his childhood. After moving from starred kitchen to starred kitchen, he set down his utensils in the Provencal restaurant La Vague d’Or Cheval Blanc<\/em>, taking over from his mentor Olivier Brulard. The more the years go by, the more the world is his. He earned three stars in 2013, received five toques from Gault & Millau in 2016 and became the world’s best chef three years later.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This new prestigious collaboration between the chef and the Champagne House will result in the creation of signature menus<\/strong>, accompanying the Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs wines in his Parisian and Tropezian restaurants. As a bonus, a selection of old and exceptional vintages will be offered, including 1979, 1996 and 2004.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Arnaud Donckele will also be actively involved in Ruinart’s reflections on its culinary expressions. He will develop the gastronomic offer deployed by Val\u00e9rie Radou in Reims, the House’s chef-in-residence, during major events in France and elsewhere.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The fruit of an obvious encounter between a Champagne House and a master of local gastronomy, this lasting partnership will take shape over the next three years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read also >Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2010 elected best champagne in the world<\/a><\/p>\nA flourishing collaboration<\/h2>\n
