Working alongside renowned sommelier Robert Gorgione. I created this dish with Chocolate, Pistachio, semi confit dried apricots and a lemon thyme ice cream. We then tasted this with different wines from producers and together selected the Domaine fontenal Rivesaltes Ambre which was the perfect match to the dish.
We competed and won in the UK final and then progressed to the European final where again we were successful and became European champions.
