I
De Chanceny Cremant de Loire Brut Nature

The Opening

Act I · Welcome

Oysters
Fine de Claire No. 2

Wine Pairing

Cremant de Loire
De Chanceny Brut Nature 2016

The Fine de Claire No. 2 is an oyster refined in coastal salt marshes, softer and more delicate than a wild flat oyster. The Brut Nature, with no added sugar, answers that gentleness with total honesty. Its fine, tight bubbles cut cleanly through the brine and prepare the palate for what comes next.

Terroir Story

Cremant de Loire grows on the schist and tufa soils of the Loire Valley. De Chanceny, a historic house from Saumur, crafts this Brut Nature using the traditional method, with second fermentation in bottle and zero dosage. The 2016 vintage delivers precision and tension, now perfectly at its peak.

Clos Sainte Magdeleine Cassis Blanc

The Heart of the Event

Act II · The Main Event

Fresh Sea Urchin
Last day of the season

Wine Pairing

White Wine, Cassis
AOC Cassis, Provence

Sea urchin is possibly the most demanding product the Mediterranean has to offer. Briny, creamy, faintly bitter, with a long and unforgiving finish. It tolerates only wines of absolute precision. The white from Cassis, with notes of fresh almond, wild fennel and coastal salinity, is the perfect geographic and gustatory match. Same sea. Same terroir.

Terroir Story

Cassis is one of the smallest appellations in France, barely 200 hectares perched above the Mediterranean between limestone cliffs. Its whites, drawn mainly from Marsanne, Clairette and Ugni Blanc, carry the sea air in every sip. This is a pairing of place more than technique.

Chateau Roubine Premium Rose Cru Classe

The Finale

Act III · Grand Finale

Ceviche
Amberjack or Grey Mullet

Wine Pairing

Rose, Chateau Roubine
Cru Classe, Provence

The ceviche brings sharp acidity, bright chili heat and firm texture. An ordinary rose would vanish against it. Chateau Roubine Cru Classe holds its ground. Its structure, mineral backbone and notes of pink grapefruit speak directly to the leche de tigre and the citrus. A finale built on freshness, not weight.

Terroir Story

Chateau Roubine is one of the eighteen Crus Classes of Provence, classified since 1955. Its Grenache and Cinsault vines grow on the sandstone soils of the Var, sheltered by the Massif des Maures. This is a gastronomic rose, not a poolside wine. That distinction is everything.

Last day of the season.

Sea urchins will not return until autumn. Today, every shell opened is a privilege. Take the time to smell, to taste, to let the wine do its work. That is what good tables are for.

At the producer's. By the sea. April 6, 2026.
