OMGD Korea Champagne Dinner

Bailliage of Korea
Seoul, October 29, 2021

Preconceptions were changed!
" A delicious and enlightening event "

Vital Wine and Domaine Frerejean Frères proved that a champagne-only multi-course dinner was indeed possible. Demonstrated using a delicious range of champagnes paired with dishes ranging from scallops and rabbit to monkfish and veal. That champagne’s rich flavours could be enhanced through the use of glasses other than the typical flutes.

President Johnathan Yi from Vital Wine, Owner-Sommelier Young Shim Kim from Gastro Tong, and CEO Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger from Frerejean Frères (who kindly joined from France via Zoom) proudly presented the house, its wines, and the food pairings at the event.

** Swiss vermicelles is one of the easiest desserts. Chestnut puree in the form of vermicelli on crisp meringue topped with whipped cream.
