Indigo Pearl Resort in Phuket to Host Barton & Guestier Wine Dinner

The Indigo Pearl resort in Phuket will host a Barton & Guestier wine dinner at its Rivet restaurant on 23 October 2015.

The dinner will feature a tour of two of France's most famous wine regions, with one of the oldest wine merchants in Bordeaux pouring vintages from the Burgundy and Rhone Valley regions, presented by the company's Southeast Asia area sales manager and wine connoisseur Victoire Desvigne.

The evening will begin with a pre-dinner reception and canapes at Rebar before guests move to Rivet, where they will be ensconced in the buttery leather of the restaurant's custom-made seating booths and plied with fine wines paired with cuisine from Indigo Pearl's executive sous chef Fabrizio Crocetta.

Barton & Guestier

Established in 1725, Barton & Guestier is also the proprietor of Chateau Magnol, a vineyard at the gate of Medoc - home to the Grand Crus of Chateaux Latour, Lafite, Mouton Rothschild and Margau - which offers accommodation and a wine school.

Chateau Magnol conceals the private cellars of founder Thomas Barton and also of Germain Rambaud, the company's first cellar master, featuring an extraordinary collection of more than 20,000 bottles.

The dinner will feature two starters, two main courses and one dessert, to be paired with the following Barton & Guestier selections:

From the Burgundy Region, renowned for its Chardonnay and Pinot Noire, Macon-Villages Chardonnay 2012 and Pouilly-Fuisse Chardonnay 2013 will be served.

From the Rhone Valley, home of Grenache and Syrah varieties, the Cotes-du-Rhone Syrah Grenache 2012 and Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2012 have been selected.
