The new bakers nearby in the Place Bretonneau

Philippe Goulet, the long established Saint-George butcher, opened his new shop today in the Place Bretonneau. Philippe Goulet said that the new shop was much easier to work in as it is all on one level, while in the old shop he had to do a lot of the preparation and work downstairs in the basement. The new shop also allows them to display their meat and other produce to much better advantage. Monsieur Goulet makes particularly good boudin – both noir and blanc.

(26 September 2008)
After our quick visit to the Clos Roche Blanche, and with their 2007 Gamay being recommended by the NY Times, it seemed only sensible to drink a bottle of the Gamay this evening. We stopped off at Philippe Goulet’s excellent butcher’s shop in Saint-Georges-sur-Cher to buy a veal kidney, which I served with a cream and mushroom sauce which, rather surprisingly, went extremely well with the soft and silky Gamay. The 2007 is lighter than some of the Clos Roche Blanche’s other vintages of Gamay but is a real success for this difficult year.
