Grapes & Gourmand

The art of one fruit, two masters

An evening where grape and gastronomy meet in quiet conversation. At Château Élan, winemaker and chef come together to explore a single muse from two perspectives, shaping a tasting that moves between precision and indulgence. Each course is guided by contrast and harmony, where vineyard and kitchen express the same idea in different languages.

On Arrival

Château Élan Brut Reserve
Bright, structured, and celebratory. A sparkling opening that sets the rhythm for the evening ahead.

First Course

Seared Jumbo Scallop | Mango curry emulsion
Paired with Rosé Reserve 2024
Silky and delicate with a subtle lift of spice. The Rosé mirrors the dish with orchard fruit and coastal brightness, enhancing its soft richness.

Second Course

Foie Gras | Strawberry gastrique, wildflower honey, aged sherry vinegar
Paired with Fingerprint Collection Grenache 2022
Lush and layered, balancing decadence with acidity and warmth. The Grenache echoes the course with depth, red fruit, and quiet intensity.

Third Course

Butter-Poached Lobster & King Crab | Asparagus, citrus, Ossetra caviar
Paired with Pinot Grigio Reserve 2024
Elegant and restrained. Briny richness meets citrus clarity, lifted by a crisp, mineral-driven white that keeps every element in balance.

Fourth Course

Seared Prime Beef & Truffle | Forest mushroom ragout, pommes purée, sauce au Porto
Paired with Fingerprint Collection The Roldec 2022
Deep, structured, and savory. Earth and oak meet in a pairing that feels grounded and composed, with quiet power in every layer.

Dessert

Strawberry Pistachio Mille-Feuille | Pistachio cream, macerated strawberries, red berry compote, white chocolate ice cream
Paired with Moscato d’Asti DOCG
Light, fragrant, and gently sweet. A soft finale that lingers with fruit, cream, and floral sparkle.

A study in pairing, restraint, and expression.
Grapes & Gourmand is where one fruit becomes two interpretations, and the evening becomes the experience.
