Toast to an intimate celebratio­n with

Veuve Clicquot at Raffles Makati

Enjoy a luxurious Champagne Afternoon Tea with Veuve Clicquot at Writers Bar in Raffles Makati until June 30, 2019. Served with fine tea and a generous assortment of sweet and savory delicacies made by the hotel's culinary artisans, it is an elegant choice for an intimate celebratio­n. Always sophistica­ted and innovative in execution, Raffles Makati brings one of the finest British traditions in the heart of the metro. Opt for two glasses of bubbly (and order additional glasses as preferred) or indulge with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot.

The sparkling afternoon is never complete without their three-tier medley composed of salmon and dill tartlet, mango and cucumber finger sandwich, parmesan sable and pumpkin custard, and crunchy mini baguette with chicken, walnut, and apricot filling. Sweet and lavish additions to Writers Bar’s impeccable set of gustatory delights include chocolate and Champagne infused macarons, passion fruit religieuse, and dark chocolate and Marc de Champagne infused lollipops topped with gold leaf providing an additional touch of decadence. The master chefs of Raffles Makati pulls out all the stops by enriching this feast with more flavors, as bite-sized servings of dark chocolate cake, pistachio and mango tartlet, and the classic Victoria cake complete the trinity. All these are, of course, served with the hotel’s freshly baked scones with clotted cream, lemon curd, and strawberry preserves.

The sunburst-yellow color of the bubbly embodies the refined and state-of-theart signature style of the Veuve Clicquot Champagne House. Madame Clicquot, known by industry greats as La Grande

Dame of Champagne took the reins of Veuve Clicquot in 1805 and brought the brand, which was founded in 1772 at Reims, France, the unparallel­ed standard of excellence adopting the motto “only one quality, the finest.” Veuve Clicquot spreads delight through its remarkable champagne range, including the iconic Yellow Label, and its joyful experience­s around the world.
