PIAZZA DUOMO RESTAURANT, ITALY
Enrico Crippa is the three-star Michelin Chef at Piazza Duomo, opened in Alba in 2005. His inventive cuisine has earned Piazza Duomo a place among the 50 best restaurants in the world. He likes to surprise his guests with artistic and dynamic culinary creations, based on his mastery of all aspects of plants.
Garden Gastronomy is the gastronomic signature inspired by the excellence of La Grande Dame cuvée: a showcase of the Maison’s excellence composed principally with Pinot Noir from the historic crus of our terroir, striking the perfect balance between strength and finesse.
"The concept of Garden Gastronomy fits beautifully with the choices that have shaped my cuisine. I’ve always been very curious about and had deep respect for the plant world, which I love for the variety of choices and inspiration it gives me every day."
Enrico Crippa's work mirrors the richness of his terroir, with exceptional ingredients on the one hand, and unrivalled technical mastery on the other.
Focusing on seasonality and his own vegetable garden, the Chef blends influences from around the world into his cuisine. His plates are sober and honor the ingredients he uses.
La Grande Dame 2015, an exceptionally sunny year for a wine full of energy and elegance, enhances the Pinot Noir grape variety, which accounts for 90% of the blend, in keeping with Madame Clicquot's vision: "Our black grapes make the finest white wines".
This vintage cuvée highlights the strength and daring spirit of the woman who was nicknamed ‘the grande dame of Champagne’.
The restaurant is housed in a building dating back to 1600, in the main square of Alba's historic center. The restaurant's large pink room, with its vaulted ceiling decorated with a modern fresco inspired by the landscape, offers a magnificent view of the square. Enrico Crippa's cuisine is a journey through space and time, guided by taste, color and texture.
In 2021, inspiration from Madame Clicquot's audacious vision and quest for perfection gave birth to Garden Gastronomy, the gastronomic signature of our prestige cuvée La Grande Dame. This is a collaboration with Michelin-starred Chefs from around the world, who draw their inspiration from sustainable and responsible cuisine and create pairings around the cuvée.
A committed, plant-based and colourful cuisine, where vegetables, herbs and fruit take center stage, while meat, fish and eggs are cooked as condiments.
