PAIRED WITH BRUT ROSE
POMME RÔTIES, CANNELLE & CRÊPES
By Jean Imbert
The setting: the Manoir de Verzy in France, where Didier Mariotti, Cellar Master at Veuve Clicquot, invited Jean Imbert,
the internationally-renowned French chef.
In an open dialogue of respect and emulation, the two men optimistically discussed their savoir-faire and their desire to push the boundaries of tradition while also respecting the history and heritage of their professions.
In a spirit of sharing and creativity, Didier Mariotti and Jean Imbert imagined an exceptional meal in three acts, where the gastronomic classics of the holidays come alive around two of the House’s emblematic cuvées: Yellow Label and Brut Rosé.

“Thanks to its precise and indulgent blend, Brut Rosé’s aromas of red fruits and spices pair perfectly with the delicious crêpes with roasted apples and cinnamon. The aromas are very similar.” Didier Mariotti
