Baumanière, Relais & Châteaux*****, a landmark luxury hotel and L’Oustau de Baumanière, a great French dining destination, have been playing host to discriminating gourmets and world-renowned figures for over seventy years.
The owner Jean-André Charial was persuaded into the profession by the hotel’s founder, his grandfather Raymond Thuiller, after working with some of the greatest chefs in France. This 3-star Mchelin Guide gourmet restaurant is now in the hands of Chef Glenn Viel. Glenn Viel was nominated Chef of Tomorrow 2018 by Gault & Millau and Chef of the Year 2020 by his peers.
In 2016, the team was joined by chef pâtissier Brandon Dehan, voted Young Pastry Chef 2019 by Gault & Millau, then Pastry Chef of the Year 2020.
Last year, chef sommelier Antoine Cazin joined the team, supervising the cellars of L’Oustau de Baumanière which contain a treasure-trove of sixty thousand bottles of the best wines from France.
