12/22 – A Holiday Sparkling Champagne Celebration Six-Course Dinner Experience Featuring the Champagnes of Maison Laurent Perrier

Celebrate the holidays in style with a very special Holiday Sparkling Champagne Celebration Dinner Experience on Monday, December 22nd at 6pm featuring the incomparable Maison Laurent Perrier Champagne.  Chef and team have prepared a very festive holiday feast featuring delectable Nantucket Bay Scallops, Osetra Caviar, Chef’s Classic Lobster Thermidor, French Chocolate, and yes please, more bubbly, oui bien sur!

Laurent Perrier is one of the finest names in Champagne. The house was created in 1812 by Alphonse Pierlot and sold to the Nonancourt family in 1939. It has since become one of the most famous of the Grandes Marques Champagnes and is also the region’s largest family-owned house. The Laurent Perrier “Grand Siecle” Iteration 26 tete de cuvee was James Suckling’s #1 Wine of 2023 and is a 100 POINT WINE.

Joining us tonight, will be Sarah Walsh, Certified Wine Pro and District Manager of Winebow Company. Sarah will guide us thru the pairings with Chef Jacques’ team and present the Laurent Perrier history and descriptions of each Champagne with our guests.

According to L’Auberge Chez François tradition, we will offer these featured Champagnes for purchase, at a special price for you to enjoy at home with family and friends or at your holiday parties.

Chef says…”Eat, drink, and be merry this season at L’Auberge Chez François.” All of our spectacular holiday decorations will be in place and be ready to complement this festive and bubbly feast!
Bonnes Fêtes, Season’s Greetings, and Happy Holidays!
