The Peninsula Manila presents The Soul of Taittinger Champagne in Old Manila

Old Manila loves Champagne dinners and Chef de Cuisine Allan Briones is delighted to announce that the first one this year will be an amazing Taittinger Champagne Dinner on February 6, 2020.

“With its rich history of family tradition and a legacy of excellence, Old Manila is honored to present five exemplary Champagnes from the renowned French Champagne House of Taittinger,” says Old Manila Chef de Cuisine Allan Briones. 

“My menu has been designed with the distinct qualities of these exemplary Champagnes in mind. The Lobster, Scallops, and Avocado course, for example is paired with the iconic Comte de Champagne.   For those unfamiliar with Comte de Champagne, it is Taittinger’s flagship Champagne in the same way that Moët & Chandon has Dom Perignon and Louis Roederer has Cristal.”
