The start of the new season has inspired creativity in our chefs; they’ve been working hard over the past couple of weeks to come up with some brand new and very exciting menus!

The Telegraph World Snow Awards 2013

In Summer 2013, after a successful first winter season, Morgan Jupe were put forward for a Telegraph World Snow Award. The initial award category was to be for all UK Tour Operators and to be judged by public vote but, due to the sheer number and variety of entries in this category, the organisers decided to spilt the category into two sections for the first time. They created a “Specialist Operator” category from a large number of entries to be put before the judging panel.
After long discussion and deliberation the judging panel decided that the quality of all the entries in the category was incredibly impressive but also so diverse that they felt that they could not award an outright winner and recommended that all short-listed entries be given a “Commended” status at the awards.

Autumn Wine Tasting Showcase

This autumn we launched our new wine list. It’s an exclusive collection of wines that reflect our personal tastes but also gives us a range of broadly palatable flavours that we can use to pair with our chalet menus. We have gone to great lengths to choose our wines and we source many of them directly from producers. Our range includes recently discovered but now well known labels such as Chateau Bauduc, Domaine de Mourchon and Chateau Pesquié; it also includes producers who are completely unknown outside of France like Christope Camu from Chablis and Michel Colbois from Chitry.

Wine Tasting in Burgundy

We kept ourselves very busy throughout the summer with plenty of wine tasting for our new list… it’s a hard life! We think it’s really important for us to know where our wine is coming from and we were lucky enough to take a trip through Burgundy at the end of the summer to visit some of our producers!
