Provençal gastronomic cuisine
in Châteauneuf du Pape
Make the cuisine we love, love the cuisine we make, make our hosts discover and share our passion with them for the pleasures of cooking that, as Brillat Savarin said so appropriately, the gastronomic prince, « is of all ages, all conditions, of all countries and all days ; he associate himself to all others and remain as the last one to console us from their loss » !

Gastronomy and love of cooking
We love to go meet the farmer from Orange who provide the poultry, our local cheesemaker who mature her own products, our truffle supplier where it smell so good every morning, our snail supplier who raise them himself, our butcher who patiently dry age his meat and all the other local producers, enthusiasts of french-style good eating and living.
We also like to discover and rediscover the exceptionnal wines of our winegrowers friends who produce them with so much love and know-how.
Our wines
The Fines Roches restaurant's cellar
In the heart of the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, our cellar is one of the most well-stocked with references of this appellation in the whole region. More than 50 domains of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are being represented and about 800 references are available. You will also find some very nice wines of neighbouring appellations such as Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Lirac and a little further such as Condrieu, Côtes Rôties, Saint Joseph, Hermitage. We also have some very nice references of burgundy wines and from other regions of France.
Our sommelier will be pleased to advise you about the wine that will best accompany the dishes you have chosen.
