David Nargeot

In La Couronne, on the outskirts of Angoulême, David Nargeot carries on a tradition of butchery and charcuterie that has been built up over more than thirty years. A self-employed artisan since 1994, he offers carefully selected meats, a wide range of home-made charcuterie and ready-made meals in his shop.

The butcher’s shop, which opened in 2013, prides itself on working closely with local suppliers and maintaining short supply chains, with meat sourced primarily from producers in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

History and origins

David Nargeot has been working as an artisan butcher since 1994. The company Nargeot David was then established in 2013 in La Couronne, where the shop is still located at 7 rue du Champ de Foire.

This long experience forms the foundation of the business’s expertise: preparing meat with precision, prioritising product quality and maintaining a direct relationship with customers.

The butcher’s shop is also listed by the Chamber of Trades and Crafts among the ‘Artisans Gourmands’ of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, in the butchery, charcuterie and catering category.

Expertise

David Nargeot’s work is based on traditional preparation in the workshop. The business states that it prioritises ‘Blason Prestige’ quality meats sourced from Nouvelle-Aquitaine, as well as supplies from local producers.

Charcuterie plays a significant role in the business: the company states that 95 per cent of its charcuterie specialities are homemade.

This expertise also extends to the catering service, with dishes prepared to order and tailored to both meals and events.

Products

• Butcher’s. The shop offers a variety of meats: beef, veal, lamb, pork and poultry, with many cuts prepared on the premises.
• Homemade charcuterie. Specialities on offer include: cooked hams; cured hams and salted meats; black pudding; andouilles; pâtés and terrines; rillettes; sausages and dry-cured sausages; sausages for cooking; tripe and offal.
