Pascal Barbot’s signature dish for Lafont
Like an artist, the chef makes a clean sweep and arranges his vegetables, fruits and herbs to compose his work base and his color palette.
We went to meet Sébastien Vauxion. He created a signature dish for Lafont. We took the opportunity to ask him some questions!
When I met Lafont at Sirha Green with Pieter Riedijk, I discovered a French company that is several hundred years old, with a rich industrial history. All the ingredients were there to seduce me. Wine and Lafont have equivalent universes in different professions, both stemming from a know-how transmitted from generation to generation with values. Thomas Blard tests many things while relying on solid bases because his ancestors started before him, for Lafont it is the same thing. Lafont’s seniority allows it to innovate and explore, for example by signing a collection with Castelbajac. I doubt that this was ever possible. Without this foundation, nothing happens.

When Lafont asked me to create a design, I thought of the roots, the vineyard, the heritage, the legacy. I wanted to bring together several things in one dish: grapes in different forms, jellied and macerated in wine for the natural aspect, combined with a creamy herb mixture for the vegetal aspect, and a puff pastry, this succession of sheets that reminds me of fabric, of matter. When the dough is rolled out with a light film of flour, I feel the same velvety touch as the textile. Once fired, the leaves evoke the folds of the fabric.
In 2018, Sebastien Vauxion is the first pastry chef in the world to be awarded a star by the Red Guide. One year later, he won his second star, placing him in the firmament of international pastry.
