Emirates has unveiled 18 new Business Class dishes meticulously designed to be paired with exclusive Moët & Chandon Champagnes on most medium- to long-haul flights.
This marks the airline’s first curated champagne and cuisine pairing experience in the air, and was developed over the course of a year by Michelin-star chef Jean Michel Bardet from Moët & Chandon and Emirates’ vice president of culinary design, Doxis Bekris.
New pairings include starters like poached scallops with green melon and Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2016, and vegan options such as silken tofu with asparagus and Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial. Main courses feature roasted duck with spiced couscous and Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial, roasted turkey with mashed potato and Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2016, and seared Chilean Seabass with artichoke puree and Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial. A vegan main course of braised lentils with coconut and Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial is also offered.
Customers can identify these paired dishes on the onboard menu with a crown icon and can check their specific flight menu in advance.
Emirates has a 33-year partnership with Moët Hennessy and is the world’s largest airline purchaser of champagne. Their Business and First Class offerings include exclusive vintages, while champagne is also available in other cabins.
