A La Fête du Champagne seated lunch in New York City with Dominique Moreau, Rose Piollot, and chef Nathan Fallowfield.
Marie-Courtin & Piollot Lunch is a multi-course seated Champagne pairing lunch presented as part of La Fête du Champagne. Chef Nathan Fallowfield takes over the kitchen at Mitsuru in New York City for a bespoke seasonal tasting menu paired with cuvées from Champagne Marie-Courtin and Champagne Piollot, with winemakers Dominique Moreau and Rose Piollot alongside the program.
The Champagne side of the lunch centers on two Polisot producers. Dominique Moreau created Marie Courtin in 2005 in Champagne’s Côte des Bars, farming biodynamically, avoiding commercial yeasts in both vin clair and bottle, and making cuvées focused on one grape, one parcel, and one vintage. Roland Piollot is a fifth-generation winegrower in Polisot whose cuvées are described as single-vineyard, single-variety expressions of the area’s terroir.
The listed wine selection includes Marie-Courtin Efflorescence 2019 in magnum, Piollot Colas Robin 2018 and 2010, Marie-Courtin Manigance Extra Brut 2021 and 2018, Marie-Courtin Présence 2022 and 2016, Piollot Les Protelles 2020 and 2019, Marie-Courtin Concordance 2020, and Marie-Courtin Ratafia 2020. Exact wines and vintages are subject to change.
The people named for the New York lunch connect the cellar, vineyards, and kitchen. Dominique Moreau is listed as founder and winemaker; Rose Piollot is listed as vigneronne and winemaker with Champagne Piollot; and Nathan Fallowfield is the chef associated with Champagne Marie-Courtin & Piollot. The event description says Rose and Nathan helped create an estate hospitality experience pairing Marie-Courtin and Piollot wines with highly seasonal food.
The lunch is scheduled for Friday, October 16, 2026 at 12:00 PM EDT at Mitsuru, a restaurant at 149 W 4th St in New York. Tickets are listed at $550 plus tax, in USD, and the organizer is La Fête du Champagne.
