The Mount Lavinia Hotel, in collaboration with the Embassy of France in Sri Lanka and the Alliance Francaise de Kotte, is proud to release Beaujolais Nouveau in Sri Lanka on 15 November 2012, for the third consecutive year.

“MLH loves to make people aware of traditions from across the world and when French food marries with a fun wine, it certainly needs to be celebrated, especially when it is paired with traditional Burgundy region dishes, and believe me as a chef myself, the dishes complementing the wine is out of this world,” stated Anura Dewapura, General Manager of Mount Lavinia Hotel.

“This vintage seems different than previous ones, and is definitely worth a taste as a Michelin Star Chef from France will create the French cuisine that blends well with the Beaujolais 2012,” he added.

Boeuf bourguignon, filet de sole a la dieppoise, coq au vin, les fromages, terrine de poisons sauce bourguignon, soupe a l’oignon, gigot d’agneau roti a l’ail, blanquette de legumes and not forgetting the escargot are some of the items that will be paired with the French wine at MLH.

Usually the festival in France is held on a farm. However MLH, always aiming to bring out the best in a product, will unveil it at their very own Paradise Beach with a guest appearance of a Michelin Star Chef from France who is set to lay out a delicious spread.

So let 15 November be a date to celebrate fine foods, especially celebrating fine French cuisine, culture and a premium beverage. It also serves as a reminder to celebrate the end of another harvest season, to celebrate the growers who toiled all season to produce the highest quality grapes and to celebrate the bounty of that harvest. Hence may a spirit of celebration fill your heart, at 8 p.m. at the Mount Lavinia Hotel. The dinner is priced at Rs. 3,200 nett.
