Refined Coq au Vin
For the final champagne pairing, diners are presented with a Refined Coq au Vin served on a bed of Velvety Mashed Potatoes.

The ƎB.02 celebrates Bugatti’s remarkable feat—the Chiron Super Sport 300+, the world’s fastest car. This limited-edition champagne hails from CARBON’s private cellar. Starting with a hint of its brilliant robe and fine bubbles, before opening-up to a large aromatic pallet with acacia notes, hazelnuts and stone fruits, this cuvée gracefully complements all occasions, whether it’s served as an aperitif, alongside a gourmet feast, or to celebrate life’s joyous moments.
