Throughout the evening, attendees will taste a variety of highly regarded cuvées including Grand Siècle Iteration No. 26, James Suckling’s No. 1 Wine of 2023, and Grand Siècle Les Réserves Iteration No. 20, a 100-point champagne aged over 20 years on lees.

“This dinner is not just about exceptional food and wine,” says Jean-Paul Cantave, General Manager of Jean-Georges Philadelphia. “It’s about creating memorable experiences during the holiday season that linger long after the last sip.”

In alignment with the Hotel’s unwavering commitment to creating distinctive and memorable experiences, this evening is set to be a grand celebration.

The atmosphere will be elegantly designed to enhance the evening, ensuring that every moment is filled with sophistication and warmth. Guests are invited to indulge in a journey of flavours and connections, all while enjoying the hallmark of hospitality that Four Seasons is known for.

“We are delighted to showcase the true craftmanship of Laurent-Perrier at this exclusive dinner,” says Edouard Cossy, Global Director of Grand Siècle. “I look forward sharing the concept of this unique wine, one that aims to recreate the perfect year that nature could not ever provide, through the mastery of blending.”

Grand Siècle, the prestige cuvée of the House of Laurent-Perrier, uses the art of assemblage to "recreate the perfect year," one better than nature could ever provide. The House’s trailblazer Bernard de Nonancourt's relentless pursuit of perfection led him to realize that no single vintage offered the perfect oenological year. To achieve the finest expression of the Laurent-Perrier style, one that boasts freshness, purity, and elegance, Bernard believed the prestige champagne should instead be created through the art of assemblage; blending three complementary Laurent-Perrier declared vintages together. With this concept, Grand Siècle focuses on iterations rather than individual years. The first Iteration was released in 1959, and since then the House has recreated the perfect year only 26 times.
