SPARKLING SUNDAYS

We often select our wines to match our meals. This time, we take a peek into the world of champagne brunches where the menu is designed to compliment the vintage.

Champagne is a sparkling wine synonymous with luxury, celebration and romance. It remains a prestigious drink only a select few can appreciate or afford. One of the names epicureans look out for where champagne is concerned is Nicholas Feuilatte. Lauren Bacall, Jackie Onassis, Shirley MacLaine, Yves Saint-Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy; these were the few names associated with Nicolas Feuillatte, champagne maker extraordinaire. In 2003, Nicolas Feuillatte became the numbertwo best selling champagne in France and number-seven bestseller worldwide. Therefore, any person who passes up Sundays at The Ritz-Carlton is certainly missing out on a rare opportunity, to sample the Brut Réserve Particulière and exquisite hors d’oeuvres prepared especially to compliment the vintage.
