Gaston Pierre de Lévis, known as the ''duc de Lévis-Mirepoix'' (Gaston-Charles-Pierre-François de Lévis; 1699–1757), maréchal de France (1757) and Ambassador of Louis XV, was a member of a family established in Languedoc as Seigneurs of Mirepoix, Ariège since the 11th century. The ''chef de cuisine'' to Lévis, Duke of Mirepoix established the sautéed three vegetables that served as a basis for his culinary art, as a ''mirepoix'' in honor of his patron. According to Pierre Larousse (quoted in the ''Oxford Companion to Food''), the unfortunate Duke of Mirepoix was "an incompetent and mediocre individual. . . who owed his vast fortune to the affection Louis XV felt toward his wife and who had but one claim to fame: he gave his name to a sauce made of all kinds of meat and a variety of seasonings". ==See also== * House of Lévis * French Ambassadors to Great Britain 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gaston Pierre de Lévis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
