Grand Cru Champagne Dinner — RSRV by Maison Mumm

Overview

To add more fizz to the festive season, Brisbane bar Cloudland is hosting a two-month celebration of bubbly. As part of the luxe affair, the glitzy venue is hosting a Grand Cru Champagne Dinner from 6–8pm on Wednesday, December 6.

Guests can mingle with new friends at the communal table while being treated to a five-course menu designed by Executive Chef Andrew Musk and paired with RSRV wines. Maison Mumm Champagne and GH Mumm Ambassador Emeline Troger will also be on hand to talk diners through each sip.

Arrive at Cloudland's Heritage Room, where you'll be greeted with Pacific oysters, served with cucumber and elderflower mignonette, and watermelon with goat's curd, aged balsamic and basil.

Then, progress onto a refreshing blackberry-cured salmon crudo with burnt grapefruit, citrus crème fraîche and a squid ink tuile, while sipping on a glass of 2015 RSRV blanc de blancs. Seared duck breast with beetroot, hazelnut and shiso will be accompanied by a glass of the elegant Rosé Foujita, followed by a hearty herb-crusted lamb with pinot noir jus and a 2014 blanc de noirs.

To finish off the night, there's a meringue with mascarpone, raspberry sorbet, strawberries and lemon balm, matched with the delicate Cuvée 4.5.

For those further down south who can't attend the Cloudland Brisbane event, there'll be another Champagne Dinner at The Island Gold Coast on Thursday, December 7.

Tickets are $190 per person and strictly limited, so get in quick. Book your spot and find out more at Cloudland's website.
