This November Soneva Kiri by Six Senses is hosting a week of culinary and wine delights, with dinners with two of the top wine and champagne makers and menus created by some of the most talented, creative chefs in the world.
On Saturday 20th November, Soneva Kiri guests can sip and savour whilst learning about the history of two of France’s finest and most famous wines and champagnes from Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande and Louis Roederer Champagne.
Chateau Pichon is one of the most revered Bordeaux wines amongst aficionados, with a history dating back several hundred years. Louis Roederer, makers of the luxury champagne Cristal, has been one of the Grandes Marques producers since 1833. The dinner will be hosted by Gildas d’Ollone the technical director of Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande and Frederic Heidsieck, export director of Louis Roederer.
Soneva Kiri’s head sommelier Morris Dash said, “These are such iconic names and it’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy such top level of wines here at Soneva Kiri. We’ll be serving Louis Roederer’s 2002 Cristal and their 2005 Rose, along with Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande from years 1988, 1996, and 2004. It will be a very special occasion.” The supporting menu that will cost 5600 baht will be created by executive chef Jaume Esperalba who has worked for Six Senses Soneva resorts since 2006 and previously at Spanish Michelin star restaurants Drolma and Racó de Can Faves. The event will be held outside under the velvety blue sky studded with a canopy of stars and followed by a star gazing session in Soneva Kiri’s Observatory.
