Can you pair an entire meal with champagne? That’s the challenge set by Jean-Pierre Vigato<\/strong>, the two-starred chef at theApicius<\/strong>, who honors the Grands Crus<\/strong> of the G.H.MUMM<\/strong> House with exceptional food and champagne pairings. <\/p>\n

In the kitchen, Jean-Pierre Vigato<\/strong> lent himself to a gastronomic experiment, creating an exclusive taste experience for each Grand Cru<\/strong> of G.H.MUMM champagne<\/strong>: dishes of excellence paired with the fine bubbles of Blanc de Blancs<\/strong>, Blanc de Noirs<\/strong> and Brut S\u00e9lection<\/strong>, “three exceptional Grands Crus that form a beautiful trilogy to discover”.<\/em><\/p>\n

But in concrete terms, what form does a G.H.MUMM Grands Crus<\/strong> gourmet lunch imagined by Jean-Pierre Vigato<\/strong> take?<\/p>\n

The Blanc de Blancs<\/strong> (100% Chardonnay from Cramant), with its finesse and elegance, its nose of white flowers and fresh fruit, and its mineral notes, is the perfect accompaniment to marinated salmon<\/em> or mussels and cockles with salad<\/em>. The Chef also likes to pair it “with an iodized preparation or, more unexpectedly, a cep and chanterelle salad!”<\/em> <\/p>\n

Then comes the Brut S\u00e9lection<\/strong> (58% Pinot noir, 42% Chardonnay), gourmand and powerful with fresh, tangy white-fruit aromas, to match raw and grilled scallops and white truffles<\/em>. Jean-Pierre Vigato<\/strong> “pairs it with white meats or waterfowl”<\/em> or a “starter of langoustines, simply cooked in their shells, with their coral in salted butter, accompanied by a langoustine tartare au couteau”.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Blanc de Noirs<\/strong> (100% Pinot noir from Verzenay), structured and fresh, in turn sublimates the dish, sea bass and langoustine, semi-smoked and whipped cream <\/em>with its notes of dried fruit and pastry, nougat, coffee and vanilla. Another match? “A pretty poultry, a powerful lobster or sweetbreads”.<\/em><\/p>\n

To perfect an already perfect lunch? Why not try another of the house’s cuv\u00e9es, G.H.Mumm cuv\u00e9e R. Lalou 1999<\/strong> paired with Poires pommes coings fa\u00e7on tatin<\/em>. <\/p>\n

If your mouth is watering, several gastronomic events of excellence, such as ” Les Menus de L\u00e9gende<\/strong> ” in 2014, but also from mid-December 2013 during the Supper<\/strong> Club, a series of exceptional dinners, will enable you to discover these gastronomic alliances.<\/p>\n
