12/19 – A Holiday Sparkling Champagne Celebration Dinner Experience Featuring the Champagnes of Maison Laurent Perrier

Celebrate the holidays in style witha very special  Holiday Sparkling Champagne Celebration Dinner Experience on Thursday, December 19th at 6pm featuring the incomparable Maison Laurent Perrier Champagne. Chef and team has prepared a very festive holiday feast featuring delectable Nantucket Bay Scallops, Osetra Caviar, Chef’s Classic Lobster Thermidor, French Chocolate, and yes please, more bubbly, oui bien sur!

Laurent Perrier is one of the finest names in Champagne. The house was created in 1812 by Alphonse Pierlot and sold to the Nonancourt family in 1939. It has since become one of the most famous of the Grandes Marques Champagnes and is also the region’s largest family-owned house.  The Laurent Perrier “Grand Siecle” Iteration 26 tete de cuvee was James Suckling’s #1 Wine of 2023 and is a 100 POINT WINE.

Joining us tonight, will be Abbey Fox, French Wine Specialist, Winebow Company.  After leaving the world of Wall Street, Abbey pursued her passion of all things wine and has “done it all” from working at Virginia’s first 100-point winery earning her Certified Sommelier designation from the Court of Master Sommeliers, to importing French wines, to working at Winebow having 5000+ wines at her fingertips to share with us all. Tonight, she offers up her portfolio of Laurent Perrier for our annual holiday Champagne Extravaganza with Abbey’s surprise giveaways and our generous L’Auberge Chez Francois hospitality.

According to L’Auberge Chez François tradition, we will offer these featured wines for purchase, at a special price for you to enjoy at home with family and friends or at your holiday parties.

Eat, drink, and be merry this season at L’Auberge Chez François. All of our spectacular holiday decorations will be in place and be ready to complement this festive and bubbly feast!

Bonnes Fêtes, Season’s Greetings, and Happy Holidays!
