You’ll begin the evening with a private tour of the cellars at Le N°3 by Champagne Thiénot, in the heart of Reims’ historic center, before taking your seat for a dinner created by Benjamin Gilles, chef at the restaurant Couvert de Vignes. In three courses, the seasonal cuisine pairs with three expressions of Champagne Thiénot’s Immersion cuvée, a Blanc de Blancs sourced from the same Grand Cru plots in Cramant and Oger.

At each course of the meal, you’ll taste a different vintage—2017, 2016, and then 2015—to experience how time, the vintage, and the pairing with the dish transform the expression of the same terroir. The balance, textures, and aromatic developments complement one another as the courses unfold, in a deliberately intimate setting.

This experience brings together the work of the chef and the cellar master. You’ll explore the synergy between fine dining and champagne through a dinner designed to highlight the nuances of a single cuvée and the precision of the pairings.
