Gourmet products local specialties and wines Dompierre-Sur-Mer

This magnificent estate just outside La Rochelle produces exceptional spirits. It is a charming stopover for those wishing to discover top-quality cognac and pineau. The current owner is a fifth-generation custodian of a unique savoir-faire. Through the combination of grape varieties and a subtle blend of exceptional eaux-de-vie, cognac is created after ageing in oak barrels. Several tours enable you to taste exceptional eaux-de-vie, including the chocolate-cognac alliance.

No need to travel all the way to Dompierre-sur-Mer to meet Eric Brossard! For more than 10 years, this butcher has been setting up shop in the market of downtown La Rochelle. Notice to gourmets, you will find him on Friday afternoon on the Place de Verdun and at the Arsenal on Saturday morning. Eric's small van, carefully stored products and impeccable service are all the hallmarks of authenticity. Grumpy people will always say that there's a wait, but no matter what, take advantage of this opportunity to let yourself be overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the market. Dressed in his apron, Eric will slice for you a few slices of ham or sausage that will be wonderful as an aperitif.
