What made this dinner particularly compelling was not simply the quality of the wines or the cuisine, but the shared sensibility behind them.
Although Géraldine Godot and Chef Vicky Lau work in entirely different worlds, there is a striking similarity in their approach: an emphasis on precision without heaviness, elegance without excess, and a desire to let ingredients and terroir speak for themselves.
At TATE Dining Room, Chef Vicky’s “Edible Stories” provided a thoughtful counterpart to Domaine de l’Arlot’s biodynamically farmed wines. Delicate dishes built around crab, cuttlefish, mushroom and blue lobster allowed the purity and texture of the wines to shine, particularly the Clos de l’Arlot Blanc 2022 and Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 2022.
One of the evening’s highlights was the Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru 2009 from Jeroboam — a wine of remarkable poise and complexity that lingered long after the final course.
Thank you to Xavier Sanchez, Chef Vicky Lau and everyone who joined us for this special evening.
