And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better
We were invited to a trade tasting of Pommery Champagne at the Taj (again!) this week, paired with food made in the Mint restaurant, which has a very suitable Mezzanine venue for guided tastings.
Duck confit parcels with spiced kumquat preserve accompanied Lynne’s favourite, the Blanc de Blanc (100% Chardonnay), “Summertime”. It gave a nice counterpoint to the rich duck and orange flavours, full of perfume and violets; it is very clean and lean on the palate with lime, lemon and grapefruit notes.
A wonderful way to interrupt a year-end stocktake!
Thank you, Claire Ganes and Pommery
