Sip Champagne and enjoy succulent seafood up in the clouds this September with this rare collaborative fine dining dinner
Seafood and Champagne take centre stage 37 storeys up at Fenchurch on Wednesday 23rd September, with an intimate one-night-only Ruinart dinner for just 16 guests. Chef de Cuisine Kerth Gumbs has created a five-course seafood-led menu, paired with five standout Champagnes from the celebrated Maison.
Hosted by LVMH Champagne Ambassador Jacqueline Kobald and Alex Pastrav, Group Head of Wine at Rhubarb Hospitality Collection, the evening will showcase some of Ruinart’s most distinguished cuvées, including Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2013 and Dom Ruinart Rosé 2009.
The evening begins at 6.30pm on the Fenchurch terrace, before guests take their seats from 7pm, as the evening moves into the restaurant’s private dining room for a five-course menu showcasing Kerth’s vibrant, modern Caribbean approach to seafood, with Jacqueline and Alex guiding guests through each cuvée, its character and the thinking behind each of the five pairings.
The dinner will commence with cured trout and tuna with watermelon radish, green mango, citrus ponzu and roe, served alongside sweet potato milk bread with XO butter paired with Ruinart Blanc de Blancs. A playful Dover sole fish finger follows with spring onion and lobster mashed potato follows matched with Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2013, before sea bass with cucumber spaghetti, bronze fennel, squid ink and calamansi is paired with the multiple gold medal-winning Dom Ruinart Rosé 2009.
Don’t forget the sweet treats of course. The evening concludes with a strawberry and cream dessert bringing together elderflower jelly, pickled fennel, white chocolate and strawberry sorbet, accompanied by Ruinart Rosé.
With only 16 places around the table, the dinner offers a rare opportunity to experience some of Ruinart’s most distinguished Champagnes combined with stunning seafood and spectacular views of the London skyline.
