Each meal will be served with a couple of prominent wines. At Novotel, guest will find Billecart Salmon Extra Brut, Francois Mikulski Meursault Cru Les Charmes, 2015 Chpoutier Hermitage Chante Alouette, Chateau Haut Batailley and Kressmann Grande Reserve Sauternes 2014.

Chef Ledeuil graduated from the prestigious cooking school, Ecole Superieure de Cuisine Francaise, and received a Michelin star in 2008.

He was named Cook of the Year in 2010 by global dining guide Gault&Millau. He also took care of the state dinner hosted by French President Francois Hollande during his visit to Korea in 2015.
