Exclusive Holiday Grand Prestige Cuvée Champagne Tasting & Champagne Dinner Experience

Please join Chef Jacques and team at L’Auberge Chez François on Thursday, December 17th at 6pm, for a Holiday Prestige Cuvée Tasting and delectable Champagne-themed Dinner Experience.

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 and highly rated offerings from our cellar including 1) Taittinger’s Comtes de Champagne Blancs de Blancs, 2) Moët & Chandon’s Dom Pérignon, and 3) Krug’s Grande Cuvée. Our sommelier, Alex Bardsley, will introduce the wines, discussing their differences and their wonderful qualities.

The guided tasting will be followed by an exceptional champagne inspired dinner experience created by Chef Jacques and his team, accompanied by two of the most requested Champagnes at L’Auberge Chez Francois, Veuve Clicquot Brut and Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé.

Our highly anticipated Champagne Tasting and Dinner Experience will be presented in our beautiful Garden Room, which boasts a fireplace, large windows, 15-foot ceilings and a sweeping view of our organic vegetable gardens. We are accommodating you for social distancing and are offering the perfect setting for an intimate, relaxing, and delectable seven-course Champagne-themed repast. See you there – please remember to sign up early, as seating is very limited.

Come enjoy these exquisite wines, sparkling like the lights of the season, as we toast to good health and a happy New Year. Enjoy all of our beautiful award-winning festive holiday decorations, inside and out. We so look forward to seeing you on this magical evening of lights, bubbly, good cheer and of course, delectable cuisine.
