Zentan Pops the Bubbly with Moët and Chandon

by Kathy Guzman

Thursday night, the official Moët and Chandon oenologist, Marc Brevot, hosted an exclusive vintage champagne and food pairing at DC’s own Zentan. Together with Zentan’s executive chef, Suser Lee, Brevot and his team put together an exquisite five-course menu paired with some of Moët and Chandon’s finest vintage champagnes.

Moët Rose Imperial… Moet Grand Vintage 2002… 1992 Blanc Moët Grand Vintage… flutes couldn’t stop begging for more.  “2002 is our latest vintage champagne on the market and worldwide,” explained Brevot, “an exciting vintage because the year had fantastic weather, great potential, and gave the wine more than 7 years in the cellar. It gave the wine a deep harmony in its creation.”

While the words “Moët & Chandon” certainly invoke a number of iconic descriptors like “exceptional,” “elegant,” and “luxurious,” dinner guests may now associate “trendy and tasty” with their champagne pairings.
