Last February 9th, the Michelin Guide France for 2017 has awarded 70 stars to different luxury establishments. And one of the hospitality establishments awarded with this high-profile recognition is Cheval Blanc Courchevel, who got its third Michelin star at their restaurant Le 1947.
Le 1947 is currently headed by Chef Yannick Alléno, who also owns a successful, multi-awarded restaurant in Paris, Le Pavillon Ledoyen. Le 1947 is the only restaurant in Courchevel that has three Michelin stars, an honor bestowed upon Alléno because of his creativity and gastronomic mastery of all the dishes he make at the restaurant.
This 49-year-old chef is famous for executing exquisite dishes that burst with extraordinary flavors, making Alléno an irreplaceable asset in Cheval Blanc Courchevel. Since his arrival in Le 1947, guests have been coming back to be treated with a one-of-a-kind luxury dining experience in the French Alps.
Speaking about Cheval Blanc Courchevel's latest achievement, Chef Alléno said: "I feel an immense joy and I thank the Michelin Guide for the support it shows us with this new distinction. The restaurant is a marvelous setting; it is truly up there where modern sauces are born."
"I am delighted for Monsieur Arnault, with whom our group shares his fundamental values of excellence and creativity. Thank you as well to the teams at LVMH Hotel Management who have supported us since our first day in this crazy gamble to reinvent French cuisine. An enormous bravo to Gérard Barbin whose work ethic and consistency are exceptional, bravo to all of you and thank you."
Le 1947 is one of the restaurants housed in Cheval Blanc, and its name was inspired by the prestigious vintage of Château Cheval Blanc. The restaurant features exquisite French Cuisine, and only a limited number of guests can dine at the restaurant every night, because according to their website: "In complete intimacy, the restaurant welcomes a limited number of guests per night to orchestrate a full culinary immersion whilst looking after the smallest details."
