Welcome Drinks & Canapés: Famille Perrin 'Reserve' Cotes du Rhône White

The evening began with a refreshing Famille Perrin ‘Reserve’ Cotes du Rhône White, setting a bright and lively tone for the event.

Each sip of the Reserve Cotes du Rhône White cleansed the palate, preparing guests for the courses to come.

First Course: Hokkaido Scallop – Famille Perrin 'Les Sinards' Châteauneuf-du-Pape White

For the first course, the Hokkaido scallop’s delicate sweetness and the creamy Delica pumpkin were complemented by the aromatic richness of the Famille Perrin 'Les Sinards' Châteauneuf-du-Pape White. This wine’s complexity, with notes of stone fruits and a touch of minerality, balanced the dish’s earthy truffle accents, bringing each element into perfect harmony.

Second Course: Lamb Ribeye – Coudoulet de Beaucastel Cotes du Rhône

Moving into heartier flavors, the second course featured a tender lamb ribeye served with dukkha spices, smoky aubergine, and a robust romesco sauce. The pairing choice, Coudoulet de Beaucastel Cotes du Rhône, showcased bold red fruit, herbal undertones, and a smooth tannic structure complemented the lamb’s spices, adding depth and elevating the savory flavors of the dish.

Main Course: Hanwoo Sirloin – Chateau de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020

The main course was the highlight of the evening—a succulent Hanwoo sirloin, paired with black garlic, confit onion, and a rich Bordelaise jus.

The wine’s smooth tannins and depth enhanced the savory, umami notes of the sirloin, creating an unforgettable pairing. This was truly a course where the food and wine complemented each other beautifully, leaving a lasting impression.

Sweet Ending: Kota Marudu Dark Chocolate Delice – Chateau de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2009
