Please join Chef Jacques at L’Auberge Chez François on Thursday, December 17th at 6pm, for a Prestige Cuvée Tasting and Champagne Dinner.
While Champagne is widely enjoyed on special occasions and for holiday celebrations, it happens to be perhaps the best wine to enjoy with dinner, pairing nicely with a great range of dishes. Most Champagne houses produce a top bottling or prestige cuvée, from their finest grapes grown in the best locations, yet these wines come in surprisingly diverse styles. We will taste three very different offerings, Taittinger’s Comtes de Champagne Blancs de Blancs, Moët & Chandon's Dom Pérignon, and Krug’s Grande Cuvée. Our sommelier, Alex Bardsley, with introduce the wines, discussing their differences and wonderful qualities.
The guided tasting will be followed by an exceptional dinner created by Chef Jacques, accompanied by two of the most requested Champagnes at L’Auberge, Veuve Clicquot Brut and Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé. Seating will be very limited, as we are practicing social distancing and implementing all recommended COVID protocols for your safety and comfort. Come enjoy these exquisite wines, sparkling like lights of the season, as we toast to good health and a Happy New Year.
