The Malaysia Champagne Carbon main distributor, LamboCellar Group Chief Executive Officer, Dato Jason Yap and La Fleur’s Chef, Alex Chew present a meticulously curated five-course French menu inspired by a selection of three exquisite champagnes.
Penang-born Gilbert Byron, an expert sommelier accredited by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET), skillfully led patrons through the intricate art of wine and food pairing.
The culinary journey begins with a Salmon Tartare served with Zesty Lemon & Dill Ricotta and a Crisp Cress Salad. This first course is best paired with the Carbon Cuvée Sunset White Luminous. The lively effervescence of the cuvée enhance the citrus flavours while elevating the freshness of the greens, providing a delightful sensory experience.
For the second course, diners are encouraged to pair the Handmade Seafood Pomodoro Pasta with the highly sought-after Champagne Carbon Cuvée Bugatti EB01 2002 Luminous Edition Limitée. A unique pairing, the tanginess of this vintage champagne aims to balance the richness of the Pomodoro sauce while its depth enhances the umami flavours of the seafood.
Before moving to the third course, the Crystal Pineapple Mint Infusion palate cleanser offers a burst of tropical sweetness from the pineapple and the cool sensation of mint. This palate cleanser
prepares the taste buds for the upcoming delights.
For the final champagne pairing, diners are presented with a Refined Coq au Vin served on a bed of Velvety Mashed Potatoes. The robust flavours of the Coq au Vin and the complexity of the Carbon Cuvée ƎB.02 Chiron 300 + for Bugatti Vintage 2006 make for a perfect match. The creamy texture of the mashed potatoes is heightened by the champagne’s luxurious mouthfeel while its acidity cuts through the richness of the dish.
The gastronomic experience culminates with the final flourish of dessert. For those with a penchant for sweetness, the tantalising Passion Fruit Creme Brulee is a classic treat modernised by the tart flavour of passionfruit. While it can be savoured alongside any of the Carbon cuvées, the true harmony unfolds with the Sunset White Luminous, as its fruity notes complement the dessert perfectly.
Champagne Carbon was created in 2011 by Alexandre Mea, heir in the fifth generation to the Devavry family, who set up their viniculture in Champillon in 1920. “Only the finest fruits from Grand Cru and Premier Cru regions are harvested handmade”, said Alexandre Mea, Chief Executive Officer of Champagne Carbon.
Champagne Carbon Cuvée Bugatti EB01 2002 Luminous Edition Limitée – RM2,200
ƎB.01 was crafted from the year of 2002 to later celebrate Bugatti’s 110th anniversary. With its blooming floral aromas which greets the senses, its sharp structure, crispy essences waltzes with lace-like bubbles in infinite whirls. This vintage champagne unfolds a horizon of delightful green fruits and nuts, amplified by a jolting note of salty-minerality.
Champagne Cuvée Carbon ƎB.02 Chiron 300+ for Bugatti Vintage 2006 – RM2,600
The ƎB.02 celebrates Bugatti’s remarkable feat—the Chiron Super Sport 300+, the world’s fastest car. This limited-edition champagne hails from CARBON’s private cellar. Starting with a hint of its brilliant robe and fine bubbles, before opening-up to a large aromatic pallet with acacia notes, hazelnuts and stone fruits, this cuvée gracefully complements all occasions, whether it’s served as an aperitif, alongside a gourmet feast, or to celebrate life’s joyous moments.
Champagne Carbon Cuvée Sunset White Luminous – RM1,050
