During the event, Olivier Krug, 6th generation of the House of Krug will reveal the notes of the three Krug cuvées: Krug Grande Cuvée, Krug 2004 & Krug Rosé. Each cuvée will be individually paired with a set of playlists that have been curated by the legendary jazz band - Bloodest Saxophone and accompanied by bespoke food pairings by Executive Chef Robin Zavou of Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong.
Chef prepares an unexpected sensory adventure expressing his love of Krug, by mixing a symphony of cuisine styles to fuse perfectly with the three cuvées. Hong Kong’s favourite street foods are given a lyrical spin in a gastronomic line-up featuring; Hong Kong Fish Balls of Lobster and Laksa and Waffle with White Truffle Comté. These are juxtaposed with favourites from The Krug Room of Red Prawn, Betel Leaf, Tamarind and Yuzu; Smoked Eel Doughnut, Salmon Roe and Yuzu and Hand-cut French Fries with Truffle and Parmesan.
The Krug Encounters journey will be headlined by legendary jazz band –
Bloodest Saxophone. The band chose three distinct sets to project the identity and tasting notes of the three Krug cuvées. Mavericks in the world of jazz they curated a unique blend of bebop and swing, tuning each track in the Krug line up to the sensations and vibrations of the cuvées themselves.
