this was the most adaptable
Champagne of the three. its amplitude
of smells, aromas and
flavours equip this wine with
extraordinary matching abilities.
the nose is full of aromas with
cinnamon and other sweet spices
such as vanilla together with citrus
fruit such as grapefruit and tropical
lime complemented by acacia
flower and subtle minerality and
toasted brioche. in the mouth,
the delicate spices blended with
tea leaves notes match the citrus
fruits and the flowery character of
this exceptional wine. Can match
most dishes included some light
desserts. serve at 10 degrees.

can be paired with more flavourful
and even spicier dishes.
to design a festive menu is a
unique occasion to bring along
some dishes usually consumed
only once a year. spices, herbs, alcoholic
beverages all become part
of the raw ingredients in the search
towards a unique culinary and olfactory
experience. the menu at
iFt includes a choice between two
appetizers, three main courses as
well as the access to a comprehensive
dessert buffet.
appetizers present the choice between
a plate of salt cod, chick peas
and tomato salad or green pea purée

garnishes, risotto with clams, octopus
and prawns or tacho, an array

Conclusion
While the Krug Grande Cuvée
is perfect for preparing the palate
for the dinner, Dom Perignon
2002 is the best match for
the roasted turkey and the Veuve
Clicquot 2002 vintage complements
the rest of the menu.
merry Christmas and happy
New Year.
