Grand Cru Chardonnay Lunch, Thursday 20th June 2024

Join us in our historic Townhouse for an afternoon exploring the incredible diversity of the Chardonnay grape. Often considered the ultimate canvas for winemakers, Chardonnay can express even the most delicate nuances in terroir and lends itself well to a number of winemaking techniques. Throughout the afternoon we will compare Chardonnay from the most prized Grand Cru parcels in Burgundy to wines we consider of equal stature from the United States, the Antipodes and beyond.  

For the occasion, our Executive Chef, Stewart Turner, will craft a four-course meal specifically designed to harmonize with these exceptional wines.
