In a breathtaking fusion of nature and culinary excellence, Nomadic Dinners proudly curated an enchanting evening to celebrate the global launch of Champagne Bollinger’s La Grande Année 2015. Set in our hidden woodland under starlit skies, this unique event brought together an exclusive group of guests to indulge in an extraordinary dining experience crafted by Nomadic guest Green Michelin-starred Chef Chantelle Nicholson.
The evening began under a beautifully adorned tent, where the atmosphere was alive with the sounds of nature. Working alongside its in house team, Nomadic Dinners meticulously designed the setting to reflect the essence of the Bollinger brand, aligning with the winery’s dedication to the artistry of wine-making. The woodland backdrop not only complemented the launch but also resonated with the synergies of wood that are integral to Bollinger’s philosophy.
Guests were treated to a carefully curated menu that highlighted the richness of the 2015 vintage, paired expertly with exquisite dishes. Each course was thoughtfully designed to evoke the woodland theme, featuring ingredients that celebrated the natural bounty of the season. Dishes like venison haunch with London oyster mushrooms and roasted pear showcased the culinary prowess and creativity that Nomadic Dinners is known for.
Denis Bunner, Chef de Cave of Champagne Bollinger, shared insights into the wine-making process, emphasizing the importance of terroir and craftsmanship that define La Grande Année. The event not only celebrated the wine but also the legacy of sustainability and quality that Bollinger embodies. Guests were captivated by Bunner’s passion and the intricate details of the vintage, which was born from a collaborative effort with the late Gilles Descôtes.
As the sun set, the ambiance was further enriched by the melodic tunes of violinist Lettice Rowbotham, creating a serene backdrop for the evening’s festivities. The combination of delectable food, fine champagne, and the enchanting woodland environment made it a truly unforgettable experience.
Nomadic Dinners’ commitment to curating exceptional events was on full display, transforming a simple launch into an immersive celebration of craftsmanship, nature, and gastronomy. With La Grande Année 2015 now available for purchase, the evening served as a delightful reminder of the magic that happens when culinary artistry meets the world of fine wine.
