Healing Manor Hotel Champagne tasting evening, March 27 2020

A relaxed yet decadently formal evening, Christophe will be talking guests through the Champagnes produced by Maison Gardet. The house, a medium sized family-owned company which dates back to 1895, produces nine different Champagnes in its complete range, each produced in the most traditional way.

Established in Epernay, the Champagne Gardet brand is dedicated to the traditional methods it was founded on. The family’s love for its land being passed down through generations. Using only the first juice pressing, the cuvee, the greatest care and attention to detail is taken to produce the highest quality products.

When it comes to the food, Healing Manor will be showcasing the very best of what the county’s larder has to offer. Paired perfectly with Champagne Gardet and wines from supplier House of Townend, an indulgent eight-course tasting menu (£80 per person) promises to put Lincolnshire ingredients in the spotlight.

Guests will begin with smoked garlic bread and roast chicken butter, followed by scallops Saint Jacques; Boulangère potatoes, shallots, barbecued potato espuma; ‘French onion soup’ beef carpaccio, smoked cucumber, gremolata, cheese fondue; Salmon Mi Cuit with sorrel sauce; white chocolate, pistachio and raspberry Mille-feuille; tart au citron, lemon curd and Champagne sorbet; with a chocolate and hazelnut macaron to finish.
