About the event
A multi-house pairing dinner
Comtes Lafon x Lafite Rothschild x Krug at Mélisse is a full tasting-menu pairing dinner built around three houses: Champagne Krug, Domaine des Comtes Lafon, and Chateau Lafite Rothschild. The format moves from Champagne to white and red benchmark bottles across the menu, so the wine list is central to the evening rather than an add-on.
