Celestine's Christmas Tables
On 24 and 25 December, Célestine adds festive favourites to its menu: oysters, foie gras, Richelieu Chazal pâté en croûte, snails with parsley and house-smoked salmon with Brillat-Savarin cream. These are followed by Bresse poultry en demi-deuil or a seafood vol-au-vent, before the traditional Yule log.
Suggested dishes on the à la carte menu
On 31 December, Château de Cîteaux welcomes the New Year with a seven-course tasting menu. Spider crab, scallops and caviar set the scene, followed by a ballotine of lobster and Bresse poultry, then fish roasted with citrus butter. Truffled venison fillet and an airy Époisses creation celebrate local flavours, before a delicate finale of Corsican clementine and chestnut. Enjoy dinner in the heart of Meursault, with an optional wine pairing.
- 7-course tasting menu: €180 per person

The day after the holidays, the Château de Cîteaux awakens gently with a generous brunch at Céléstine’s table. Golden viennoiseries, seasonal produce, aged cheeses and homemade sweets celebrate the art of sharing. Families gather, conversations stretch on, and time seems suspended. An unmissable gathering to prolong the magic of the holidays in conviviality.

Christmas cake
Fontenille Collection
A sublime creation by Philippe Moreno, Chef of Hortensias du Lac, and Gabriella Jannini, Pastry Chef at the hotel Les Bords de Mer, Fontenille Collection is launching its first Christmas cake edition, a tribute to indulgence and elegance.
Its purist design, adorned with fine chocolate leaves, evokes the winter landscape. Beneath its golden and dark brown velvet, a symphony of flavors unfolds: the richness of a dark chocolate cream, the lightness of a mousse made with Tonka beans, and the crunch of a cocoa-almond biscuit with milk chocolate filling.
A perfect marriage of textures and flavors, it captures the spirit of Christmas in an exceptional pastry, to be savored with your loved ones. A unique piece to share, to prolong the magic of a Christmas at Primard at home.
