The one-off dinner will feature a number of wines from the acclaimed Sussex sparkling producer and historic Bordeaux estate, including Rathfinny’s recently-released 2018 vintage and, with dessert, the 2015 Secret de Château Biac from Cadillac AOC.

The full menu, with pairings, showcases British ingredients and classical French technique:
