These three wines have become benchmarsk for the appellation, collecting countless perfect scores over the years. Earlier this year, Guigal unveiled a fourth, La Reynard, planted in 2010 to mark the birth of Philippe Guigal's twin sons, Charles and Étienne. The inaugural 2022 vintage has already been met with widespread acclaim, cementing its place alongside the original trio. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'll be led through a selection of their wines by Stefan Neumann MW, who worked as head sommelier at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, The Fat Duck in Bray and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal before becoming director of wine at the Mandarin Oriental. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn arrival, you will enjoy a welcome glass and canapés followed by a three-course tasting menu prepared by our neighbours, \u003cspan data-sleek-node-id=\"16ca98\" style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Tandem Catering\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tandemcatering.co.uk\/\"\u003eTandem Catering.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e As you dine, you will be told the story behind each bottle - its origins, tasting notes and techniques - and each dish will have been carefully chosen to complement the wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e7pm Welcome drink\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e7.30pm Guests seated for dinner\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e9\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e.45pm Taxis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese dinners are limited to a maximum of 32 people, so secure your tickets sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e Tickets for all these events are now available for purchasing online and in-store.
