The kitchen team of Bauernschänke (16 Gault Millau / Bib Gourmand) has crafted a menu tailored to the Champagnes from Champagne André Jacquart.

On November 29th, Marie Doyard from Champagne André Jacquart will be at Restaurant Bauernschänke. She will pair her Champagnes with the 6-course winter menu. The snow crab with pumpkin and sea buckthorn will be paired with the Millésime 2013 Expérience, extra brut, while the Solera, réserve perpétuelle will complement the Pâte à Choux with dried pear and mascarpone.

We are particularly excited to present a world premiere: at Bauernschänke, you will be the very first guests to have the pleasure of tasting the first single vineyard Champagne from André Jacquart, Les Chétillons 2015. And what a vineyard it is! Sought after by Champagne enthusiasts and praised by experts, Les Chétillons is known for its distinctive minerality, almost iodine-like, combined with lemon and tequila notes. We will serve it with a veal fillet.

Marie Doyard took over the 24-hectare estate with vineyards in villages with such melodious names as Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Vertus at the age of 22. Upon taking over, Marie changed nearly everything that could be changed. She replaced the stainless steel tanks with Burgundian oak barrels, increased the aging time of the Champagnes on lees by several years, and significantly reduced the dosage. She shifted the entire production to blanc de blancs, made from 100% Chardonnay (except for the Rosé). With these steps, Marie Doyard transformed the Domaine André Jacquart, founded in 1908, into a top-quality grower and has been delighting the Champagne world for 20 years now.

Marie Doyard from Champagne André Jacquart will be present and guide you through the evening.
