Halpern Wines and Restaurant Lucie are delighted to present the fourth edition of our Vine and Dine series, an intimate evening devoted to the exceptional wines of Château Montrose and Château Tronquoy-Lalande.
On Monday, January 19th, we welcome Arnaud Frederic, Commercial Director of the estates, for a dinner experience exploring the breadth and elegance of these celebrated Saint-Estèphe properties. Representing the pinnacle of Saint-Estèphe winemaking, this evening presents a rare comparative journey through two remarkable estates, showcasing the power and elegance that define this storied Left Bank appellation.
Under the guidance of Michelin-recognized Chef Arnaud Bloquel of Lucie, this exclusive five-course menu will showcase six exceptional wines beginning with the mineral precision of Château Tronquoy Blanc 2021, continuing through the 2020 vintages of Château Tronquoy-Lalande and La Dame de Montrose, then ascending to Grand Vin expressions from 2019 and 2009, and culminating with the profound 2005 Château Montrose. Arnaud Frederic of Château Montrose will guide guests through two decades of Saint-Estèphe excellence.
Welcome to Vine & Dine, an exclusive dinner series where exceptional wines meet exquisite cuisine in an atmosphere of refined elegance and intimate discovery. Each event features a distinguished winemaker or ambassador presenting a curated selection of world-class wines that tell the story of their terroir and craft.
These remarkable vintages are thoughtfully paired with Chef Arnaud Bloquel’s sophisticated French cuisine, where each dish enhances and elevates the wine experience.
