Floral Flavours of Perrier-Jouët Married with Signature's new menu

Award winning restaurant, Signature @ The Roof collaborated with renowned champagne brand, Perrier-Jouёt to launch their new menu. I was lucky to be invited as their guest on that night to review how the floral and fruity flavours of the cuvees bring out the best in the Signature’s latest menu. For the evening, the usually trendy and premium gastro-lounge, was transformed into a botanical wonderland reflecting the natural inspirations of the champagne maker.

At the event, Marketing Director of Pernod Ricard, Emmanuel Dokhelar explains, “The house of Perrier-Jouët is unique in that we only produce 3 million bottles of champagnes a year, and because of this we are very selective of whom we partner with. 

Signature has just the right atmosphere, style, and food which complements the feminine touch of Rose Adelaïde Jouët, founder and original winemaker of Perrier-Jouët. Even tonight’s menu has been specially engineered to convey the iconic fruity and floral flavours of the champagne straight to your palette.”

Each dish served has been carefully selected to bring out the flavoursome palette and aromatic notes of the Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut and the Perrier-Jouët Blason Rosé. “Perrier-Jouët is all about creating vintages and cuvees which have distinctive characters of their own. For example, the Grand Brut is delicate, elegant and balanced, with great florality, while the Blason Rosé is an intense and balanced champagne that features a more fruity fragrance.” said Lionel Lau, Perrier-Jouët Sommelier at the event

The three course menu features starters like oyster shooters, garlic prawns, otak-otak dumplings, mushroom salad and Signature’s favourite mushroom soup. For the heavy weights, the main course includes flying tandoori chicken pasta, lamb rack, chicken rice ball and barramundi. Finally, for the sweet selection, these include chocolate brownies, red velvet, and lychee cheese tart. The incredible freshness of Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut will pair perfectly with fish and seafood dishes while its marvelous florality will enhance the perfumes of the main courses. The sweet delicacies served for dessert will find an alter-ego in the intense fruitiness of Blason Rosé.

The introductory champagne - The Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut has a pale and sparkling yellow robe, which is suggestive of vivacity and carries notes of cherry plum, lemon and bergamot orange which emerge first on the palette, then make way for the flowerful flavours of fruit trees, such as lime and honeysuckle. These are followed by notes of butter, madeleine cakes and vanilla sugar. Lingering notes of grapefruit, white peaches, green pears, apple trees and green hazelnuts round off the taste.

Whereas the dessert champagne - The Perrier-Jouët Blason Rosé, features a wonderfully juicy blend of blackcurrant buds, pear, apricots and cherry plum that emerge first, only to give way to the fragrances of blackcurrant and blood oranges, followed by notes of crème de cassis, raspberry, honeysuckle and roses, culminating in lime, blackberries, and Morello cherries.

We sneaked to rooftop for a walk after the hearty dinner :D
