ASSOCIATION MONDIALE DE GASTRONOMIE BAILLIAGE DE THAILANDE Presents - Chef Julien Lavigne Date: Tuesday 23rd FEBRUARY 2010 7:00 PM Cocktails & Dinner at 8:00
Contemporary, elegant, and sophisticated, D’Sens is the true gourmand’s delight. Opened in partnership with the much celebrated Jacques and Laurent Pourcel, who modeled D’Sens on their two-Michelin-Star awarded Le Jardin des Sens restaurant in Montpellier, D’Sens offers the finest French cuisine to be found in Bangkok. Located on the hotel’s top floor, D’Sens also offers breathtaking panoramic views over the historical Lumpini Park, and of Bangkok’s magnificent skyline. The view is especially dramatic after dark. Be dazzled by the city lights.
Wine Spectator - 90 points Intense aromas of blackberry tart with hints of rhubarb. Medium- to full-bodied, with soft tannins and a medium finish. This is really nice. Stylish wine. I like it better than the 2000. Best after 2008. 8,750 cases made. – James Suckling
Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Blanc
A family estate run by Jean-Louis, Denis, Jean-Dominique and Jean Laurent, Domaine Vacheron only uses products which are authorized for organic and biodynamic agriculture. The vines are cultivated in an entirely organic manner using traditional hoeing and sowing of grass as a crop cover, and are harvested exclusively by hand. Winemaker’s compared 2007 vintage to the blockbuster year of 2005, with an added layer of freshness and cut—this is a bountiful vintage that almost overwhelms with its concentration and complexity. Aromas echo the silex-rich soils with a Fourth of July firecracker freshness, combining citrus zest with pencil shavings and plenty of chalky notes and sea salt. The mouth is concentrated and rich but not at all heavy—the concentration here is piled on in meringue layers. White peaches, a slice of lemon tart, buttery pie crust and lime zest blend and expand as the wine takes on air. The finish is zippy and bright, with more citrus and a touch of honey. Utterly noble and cellar-worthy.
