It is in the heart of the small village of Fontjoncouse, nestled in a discreet valley of the Corbières, that Gilles Goujon and his partner Marie-Christine have created the Auberge du Vieux Puits, a world-renowned 3-star restaurant.

A challenge brilliantly met

The Auberge du Vieux Puits is a hotel-restaurant today renowned. Yet it was a real challenge to settle in Fontjoncouse, a whole small village peaceful lost in the wild nature of Corbières, far from the urban bustle. Gilles Goujon becomes Meilleur Ouvrier de France then pick up a first Michelin star in 1997. By dint of hard work, rigor, patience and perseverance, to which is added an indisputable culinary and creative genius, Gilles Goujon and his team arrive at the consecration in 2010: obtain a 3nd Michelin star.

Exceptional cuisine in the Corbières

Gilles Goujon and his team are committed to enhancing our local products. THE Mediterranean flavors are in the spotlight, accompanied by best wines des Corbières, Minervois, Fitou or La Clape. One of the dishes that made the reputation of the chef is rotten “Carrus” chicken egg with black truffle. Among his other "signature" dishes, we find for example the roasted black cocoon back, puffed rind or sautéed Mediterranean grouper in navarrin with tarragon.

We do not tell you more, these delicacies can be seen, felt and savored more than they are told! So at the table!

This is the young chef Quentin Pellestor Veyrier who will be the executive chef of this new address, alongsideAxel and Enzo, the two sons of Gilles and Marie-Christine Goujon. At the Alter Native, the fish and vegetables will be in the spotlight. A permaculture vegetable garden has even been created to supply this table which will undoubtedly be talked about.
