CHAMPAGNE TAITTINGER DINNER TASTING
Tuesday 4 December 2012
,
A Champagne reception followed by a three course themed meal with top premium wines.
Under the direction of François Taittinger, the company’s cellars were established in the Abbey of Saint-Nicaise, built in the thirteenth century in Gallo-Roman chalk pits dating from the fourth century. After François' death in an accident, his brother Claude took over and directed the business from 1960 to 2005. It was during this time that Taittinger became a champagne house of world renown. Today Taittinger is considered one of the finest Champagne houses of them all and boosts some delicious wines. Patrick McGrath, Master of Wine, has worked closely with Taittinger for many years and will guide us through some exquisite Champagnes, including some top cuvees. Early booking is recommended for this very popular Christmas tasting.
The evening will feature a specially themed three course dinner to go with the wines created by head chef Carson Hill.
