Vintage Champagne, exceptional wines for exceptional occasions, intimate gatherings, family reunions, celebrating with friends, memorable, magical moments in life.
Leading oenologists and master chefs in champagne suggest distinctive combinations that bring out all the taste and aromas of food for special occasions and vintage champagne.
A triumph of understatement; dishes that leave you free to add your personal touch and exercise your culinary skills.
Simple to prepare (steamed, wrapped in ravioli, à la nage) or requiring more elaborate techniques (stuffed meat, meat in sauces or cooked in a salt crust); delicate dishes that combine refined texture with rich, powerful flavours.
Spicy, hot, strong tasting dishes; foods with a "dry" crisp texture or those that are excessively sweet and bitter (such as chocolate).
Dishes with a liquid or insubstantial texture; sharp tastes of lemon or vinegar, olives and pickles; marinades, garlic and crudités.
