Le French GourMay is an annual French food and wine festival organized by Ubifrance - the French Trade Commission in Hong Kong. During this May, Le French GourMay will tickle our taste buds with Rh?ne Valley Wines and Lyon’s Cuisine. The charm of Le French GourMay has gone beyond our imagination and proved that cuisines are without borders. Over 65 restaurants and bars embrace the festival, including French mostly, but also Chinese restaurants that will offer Rhone Valley wine pairings with their menus. Just as Michelin-starred French Chef Pierre Gagnaire shared his cooking secret that “White wines from the Rh?ne Valley are perfect for Chinese food”.
It’s intriguing that Rh?ne Valley wines display a wide variety of distinguishable characteristics. As a seasoned wine columnist and private collector, Ms. Abbie Chan enlightened the Press Conference with many a witty question.
