The Provencal village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the magnificent standard-bearer for the dynamic Southern Rhône, and creates some of France’s most potent and individualistic wines – both white and red. The wines are appreciated for their powerful, rich, intense notes and are filled with array of berries and aromas of peppery spices as well as lushly textured dense layers of flavours.

Clos Saint Jean, which was founded by Edmund Tacussel in 1900, is run by the fourth generation of the Tacussel-Maurel family – Vincent and Pascal Maurel – under the tutelage of renowned oenologist Philippe Cambie.

The Châteauneuf-Du-Pape wine dinner is taking place at Long Bar Steakhouse on Saturday, 28th June 2014 at 7.30pm and is priced at SGD 188++ per person.
