Premium French vintages get a Chinese taste test
When wine critic and celebrity chef Cai Hao was invited by the French champagne brand Dom Perignon to team up with French celebrity chef Pascal Tingaud to design a menu, he felt very excited. The 2006 vintage and P2 1998 of the brand had become available on Chinese market, and Dom Perignon wanted to pair them with both Chinese and Western food for Chinese fans to enjoy.
"Dom Perignon is among my favorite champagne brands, and I love its wines. They are very classy," Cai, widely known as Howard Cai, says.
