My culinary canvas celebrates the seasons, weaving tales of innovation onto each plate. A dish should be a story, an experience, and above all, a piece of edible art.

La Grande Dame 2018

Experience the purest expression of Pinot Noir with La Grande Dame 2018, a celebration of Madame Clicquot's unique vision, drive and audacity.

Its deep and precise style is characterized by subtle finesse and freshness, expressed through its salinity. Intense aromas emerge through a delicate scent of citrus - lemon, lime, yuzu - blended with white fruit, enhanced by spring and floral notes.

In the elegant Henry Robertson Dining Room, awarded three AA Rosettes and Wales’ first Green Michelin Star, guests enjoy menus inspired by the finest local and seasonal produce. From refined tasting menus to relaxed lunches and afternoon tea, each dish celebrates regional suppliers, heritage, and thoughtful, warm hospitality.



Garden Gastronomy

Inspired by Madame Clicquot’s audacious spirit, Garden Gastronomy, born in 2021, is an initiative that brings together a community of Michelin-starred chefs from around the world, creating bespoke food and champagne pairings specially imagined for La Grande Dame.

This approach invites a rediscovery of taste through a truly authentic culinary experience. The chefs’ creativity is expressed through the celebration of garden-grown ingredients—freshly harvested fruits and vegetables—echoing those cultivated in the Maison’s emblematic kitchen garden at the Manoir de Verzy.
