The horses are on vacation for July, but we returned to the Jockey Club Members’ Stand in Happy Valley for another terrific Wine’s Link dinner paired with the grand crus of Chateau Lascombes and Chevalier Lascombes from Margaux, Bordeaux. It was an intimate dinner for 24 great wine-lover friends, both old and new. The guest of honor was the famed négociant, Dubos’ president Robert Cottin, and the managing director of Chateau Lascombes, Dominique Befve. Our chef for the evening, Brandon Chadwick, who worked with Jean-Georges Vongerichten and of Doha W Hotel, prepared six stunning courses to match the wines of the evening. We started with an incredibly elegant Alaskan King Crab Leg Salad, followed by savory Foie Gras Brulee paired with Chevalier de Lascombes 2010 and 2013. For the third and fourth courses of Roast Masterstock Pigeon and Slow Cooked Wagyu Cheek with mushrooms, we comparatively tasted them with three vintages of Chateau Lascombes, 2005, 2010, 2013. Dominique expertly guided us through the great wines of the evening, remarking on the specificity of spice and wood in 2005, and the highly regarded 2010 and 2013 that are more full-bodied with notes of crème de cassis and a more fruit forward, rounder style, both of which scored a 96 with Robert Parker.
炎熱的七月中,正值馬場休季,是次Wine’s Link繼續選址跑馬地快活谷舉辦紅酒晚宴,品嚐法國波爾多瑪歌區列級紅酒Chateau Lascombes及其副牌Chevalier de Lascombes不同年份佳釀。 是晚有24位法國高級紅酒愛好者朋友,蒞臨參與享受美酒佳餚。我們有幸邀得法國著名négociant兼Dubos主席Robert Cottin及Chateau Lascombes營運總監Dominique Befve成為座上客。晚宴美食由Brandon Chadwick主理,他早前曾為Jean-Georges Vongerichten及於多哈W酒店工作。大廚為配搭Chateau Lascombes紅酒,為參與者各準備一份六道菜晚餐: 頭盤先有阿拉斯嘉帝皇蟹腳沙律,Chevalier de Lascombe 2010及2013以鹹點鵝肝慕士配搭,第三和第四道菜分別為烤焗鹵水乳鴿,慢煮和牛臉頰配菇菌,再配搭3支不同年份Chateau Lascombes:2005,2010,2013以互相比較。 晚宴期間Chateau Lascombes營運總監Dominique指導大家如何品嚐不同年份,要留意2005年獨特木質香氣和微辛口感; 2010,2013的豐富質感,帶有果香氣息的黑醋栗酒味,更圓潤風格。兩個年份均獲得名酒評家Robert Parker 96分評價。
