Don Melchor Culinary Challenge with former 3 Michelin Star Chef Bruno Menard

Concha Y Toro Asia is proud to announce its new partnership with *former Three Michelin Star Chef Bruno Menard* who will perform the role of Don Melchor Brand Ambassador for 2015.

Across Asia, Concha Y Toro will present a once in a lifetime wine dinner featuring a unique culinary challenge for the Chef. Through his culinary magic, he has created the most perfect gastronomic menu to match with five outstanding vintages of Concha Y Toro’s Don Melchor, *Chile’s most iconic and awarded wine.*

After receiving 3 Michelin Stars at Restaurant L’Osier in Japan, Bruno Menard subsequently moved to Singapore and has now launched his own culinary consulting firm. He is also one of the three celebrity judges on the television show, MasterChef Asia – launched in September 2015 across Asia, on the Lifetime channel.

Crafted from grapes sourced from the best Alto Maipo Valley terroir, Don Melchor is an ongoing quest from Concha Y Toro’s Guilisasti family to attain the truest possible expression of the beauty and balance of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. Don Melchor is the crown jewel of Concha Y Toro’s fine wine portfolio and the most iconic wine of Chile.

It was only natural that Concha Y Toro partner with one of Asia’s iconic chefs who can express both tradition and innovation in the best way possible and render the subtleties of a food pairing with the different vintages of this Chilean icon.

A CULINARY CHALLENGE

Concha Y Toro has come up with a unique culinary challenge for the chef: challenging the vision that you cannot propose an entire dinner with only one wine.

Chef Bruno Menard has taken up this challenge by creating an outstanding and innovative 5 recipe / 5 vintage pairing dinner.

From starter to dessert, Chef Bruno matches the nuances of the wine by working on subtleties of each vintage.
