Relais & Châteaux Blue Margouillat Wine Cellar

A wine list should be read as a novel.

If you hold it in your hands more than two pages, it means the sommelier’s plot reached you.
This list will take you away and make you dream of remote discoveries such as unknown designations, prestigious domains, vintage wines of beloved ones and maybe also those that existed before you were born.

Wine implies emotion and History in one glass and this is what Blue Margouillat, reunion luxury hotels, intends to offer to its hosts whatever the glass and always echoing Marc Chappot's delicate cuisine.

The Relais & Châteaux Blue Margouillat offers one of the nicest and richest wine selection in la Réunion, including 1050 items available for tasting and 11,000 bottles of wine in the cellar. Made with passion over the years, this wine selection often grows with new "cuvées" and gets the most of the wisest ones kept in the cellar. All in good time is also the philosophy of Blue Margouillat's wine list, that is why we only suggest "cuvées" ready to be tasted.
