Veuve Clicquot, together with Aqua and Armani/Aqua, promises to make your life very colourful this summer. Throughout August, the champagne brand and the restaurants are offering a vibrant gourmet experience, imagined through the colours of Veuve Clicquot champagne.

Talking about the gastronomical experiment, Chef Alberto Hernández says, “Colours stimulate the senses and enliven the palate. The three dishes that we have created are designed to captivate the eye and excite the taste buds, with a unique feature of inspiring gourmets to add their own artistic touch.”

The first course is a tribute to the Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label. Chef Hernández pairs this iconic champagne with Japanese oyster and scallop ceviche, complete with a bold saffron cream to create a dramatic effect and complement the rich yellow colour palette of the Yellow Label bottle.

The second course – a slow-cooked Norwegian salmon, with king prawns and caviar – is even more striking and pairs well with the ripe flavours of the Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old.

The most attractive dish is, however, the dessert – an Amarena cloud cheesecake framed with pink rainbow sauces that goes perfectly with Veuve Clicquot’s Champagne Rosé.

The PR blurb for the event sums it up in a catchy way – “Life tastes better in colour!” Well, we don’t know if life will taste better in colour, but your Instagram handle definitely will!
