Méribel's legendary fondue den where the owner breaks a raw egg into the last crusty dregs for cheesy scrambled perfection — Savoie white wines pair with handmade fondues in a cellar below the cheese shop.

What to do there

DiningLa Fromagerie: The Apremont-Fondue Chemistry Lesson You Can EatDescend into a rustic cellar beneath a cheese shop for the best fondue in Méribel, paired with Apremont—the Jacquère-based wine experts call "the single best cheese wine on the planet." Here's the science: taste the wine first. Sharp, almost aggressive acidity. Now dip bread in the melted Beaufort, Comté, and Abondance blend. Taste the wine again—the fat unlocks stone fruit notes you didn't notice before, and that acidity now feels perfectly calibrated to cut through richness. This isn't tradition—this is molecular gastronomy accidentally invented by Alpine farmers 300 years ago when they realized acid-fat interactions create harmony. You're eating chemistry. It just happens to be delicious.
