Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Jamaica held its first major event for 2023 on Saturday, January 14.

This event — the third since 2019 — saw the induction of the Jamaica Baillages’ new Bailli, Pierre Battaglia, general manager of Couples Sans Souci.

Held at Moon Palace Jamaica and hosted by Vice-president Clifton Reader, it hit all the right

notes. The energised Chaîne membership status is recognised internatio­nally and is transferab­le worldwide.

Newly inducted Bailli Pierre Battaglia committed to a growth in the membership, as well as curated and quality events during his tenure. The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs is an internatio­nal gastronomi­c society founded in Paris in 1950. It is devoted to promoting fine dining and preserving the camaraderi­e and pleasures of the table. Membership of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs is by personal invitation. Belonging to a truly internatio­nal community brings a wealth of opportunit­ies for members to participat­e in exciting events worldwide. The Jamaica Baillage

was formed in 1985.

THE EVENING’S POURS

Taittinger Prestige Rosé: Blended from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, this is a succulent, fruity, supple and aromatic Champagne with fine bubbles and a crisp, refreshing finish of extended length.

Taittinger Cuvée Prestige Rosé:

An intense cherry-pink in colour with extremely fine, persistent pinpoint bubbles rising in delicate strands to the surface of the wine. Its classic, aromatic Pinot fragrance of red raspberrie­s and strawberri­es is offset by elegant, subtle floral and earth nuances. On the palate, the ripe, full berry flavours are vibrant yet refined, delicately balanced by a fresh acidity which carries into a crisp, refreshing finish of persistent length.
