Born on the 13th September 1964 into a family of wine-growers at Agde in the south of France’s Hérault region, the twins Jacques & Laurent Pourcel have, in a few shot years, become among France’s strongest ambassadors for French gastronomy. In 1988, together with their close friend Olivier Château, they opened Le Jardin Des Sens in Montpellier, which will rapidly became one of the region’s gastronomical references. There, in 1998, they obtained their fabled 3rd star in the Guide Michelin, confirming them as one of the truly great restaurants in the world. Their cuisine resembles them; Simple, modern and above all, creative. Two words come back constantly ‘Simplicity’ and ‘Product’. Their philosophy ‘no good cuisine without good products’. That is why they canvas the land, always looking for the right farmers and growers, fishermen and breeders, to discover, prepare and serve only the finest produce.
