The aim was to recover the house's third star, and he was in charge of the kitchen when it returned. In 2008 he took over Greuze in Tournus, an address made famous by Jean Ducloux, and won a star within a year. The gastronomic room is now L'Écrin, while the same house runs a bistro, Le Bouchon Bourguignon. His wife Stéphanie leads the dining room. ## The cooking The cooking is modern and seasonal, with a creative streak resting on the classical discipline of the great Lyon and Burgundy kitchens where Chapuis trained. Regional references, Époisses among them, sit beside seasonal fish, game and vegetables. As well as the set menus there is a short à la carte selection, and the service includes a knowledgeable sommelier. ## Good to know Tournus is about 45 minutes from Beaune. The Instant Surprise menu starts at €85, the Écrin menu costs €130 and the Signature menu €190. The restaurant opens from Thursday evening to Monday and closes on Tuesday and Wednesday. With only about 25 seats, booking is essential. The abbey is a few steps away, and a private driver makes lunch here and an afternoon in the Mâconnais an easy day.
