What can you expect at Chardonnay Unlocked?
Prepare your taste buds for a journey across continents, climates and styles, as told through the diverse flavours produced by the Chardonnay grape. Naturally, the experience will start with a glass of Maison Champagne Poirot to explore the delicate, aromatic side of the grape. Then, over the course of the evening, you will taste your way through five more expressions, with the spectrum spanning from the refined elegance of Louis Jadot to more vibrant, fruity styles like Errazuriz, Zuccardi, Villa Maria and Résonance.
Of course, all sipping should be accompanied by some equally delectable fare. Chardonnay Unlocked ensures there will be no rumbling stomachs with seasonal canapés prepared under the direction of Executive Chef Rob Weston, who brings experience from Michelin-starred kitchens. It’s fair to say your palate will be well and truly spoilt over the course of the evening.
This evening will be made all the more unforgettable by the setting. Set to unfold in a refined private dining room at Vinoly, guests will have their own intimate haven where they can forget the world and just enjoy tasting wine with fellow Chardonnay enthusiasts. There’s no rush or swift sipping required; it’s a chance to unwind and unlock the secrets of this much-loved varietal.
This is part of a series of introductions to six wine varietals taking place over the year, hosted by an expert team at Encountr.
