Wine Dinners
Following the success of our 2012 wine dinners programme, we have again invited some of the world’s finest wineries back to Claridge’s along with some exciting new ones of course. The upcoming 2013 programme of exquisite wine dinners offers elegant wines and delectable cuisine - the result of an inspired collaboration between our Sommelier, Charles Segond, and our Executive Chef, Martyn Nail.
The experience begins at 6.30pm with aperitifs and an introduction to the wines of the evening, presented by the winemakers themselves, followed by a four-course dinner served at 7.00pm. Each course of the dinner is expertly designed to perfectly complement the wines selected for the evening.
Places are limited so an early reservation is strongly recommended.
26th September, 2013 - Dom Pérignon
Dom Pérignon’s ultimate aim was to create the “best wine in the world”. This mission was realised by commanding an outstanding visionary and daring spirit at the end of the 17th century which in turn gave way to the “méthode champenoise”. The wines have been enjoyed the world over and especially at grand celebrations including the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer.
Fully inclusive experience priced at £270 per person.
24th October 2012 - Château Haut-Brion
The Château Haut-Brion Estate dates back to April 1525 and is rated as a “Premier Cru Classé” property by the Bordeaux classification system. Renowned as the oldest and one of the most iconic estates in Bordeaux, its wine has been served to many a king, including Charles II, since the 17th century. The Estate is currently owned by the Clarence Dillon family who are passionately committed to continuing the legacy of one of the world’s finest wines.
Fully inclusive experience priced at £300.00 per person.
14th November 2013 - Billecart-Salmon
Founded in 1818, by Nicolas Francois Billecart and his wife Elisabeth Salmon, champagne Billecart-Salmon is synonymous with excellence and perfection. Billecart-Salmon, situated in Mareuil-sur-Ay, is one of the few remaining champagne houses to be owned and led by the original family, now in its seventh generation. Heritage has joined forces with the most modern of winemaking techniques to create legendary cuvées. Their distinctive finesse, elegance and harmony have gracefully helped celebrate a number of those precious moments.
Fully inclusive experience priced at £230.00 per person.
21st November 2013 - Laurent-Perrier
Laurent-Perrier was established in 1812 and the house remains under the direction of the De Nonancourt family to this day. Laurent-Perrier pioneered the production of Ultra Brut champagne and set the benchmark for rosé champagne by using the saignée method. Producing one of the most desirable wines, it has been awarded the Prince of Wales’s Royal Warrant.
Fully inclusive experience priced at £230.00 per person.
