Cognac finds a good match with Fujian delicacies

A recent cognac and food tasting in Xiamen was the second event in a campaign aimed at "rediscovering Chinese tastes" organized by the French luxury-liquor giant LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton.

The French company launched the promotion in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, in December to spotlight the variety of dining experiences that can be shaped by the chemical reactions between cognac and different Chinese foods.

While the opening event in Guangdong paired cognacs with signature Cantonese dishes, the Xiamen event matched the company's premium French brandies with Fujian cuisine. Celebrated chefs and food critics were invited to create a set menu of seven dishes for the event, in collaboration with five prestigious Fujian restaurants in Xiamen and Fuzhou.
