On Thursday, 29 October 2026, Les Roses restaurant at CASINO 2000 dedicated an evening to the art of food and wine pairing. Featuring a four-course menu created by Chef François Jagut, three passionate sommeliers guided guests through a culinary experience centred on discovery and sharing. The event proved to be a resounding success.
Three Sommeliers, One Shared Passion
For this special occasion, Guillaume Grabisch, Head Sommelier at Les Roses, was joined by two distinguished sommeliers: Dominique Rizzi, President of the Luxembourg Sommeliers Association and Best Sommelier of Luxembourg 1992, and Francesco Di Nola, Best Sommelier of Luxembourg 2025.
United by their shared passion, they showcased their expertise through carefully crafted food and wine pairings designed to complement each of the Chef’s creations. Throughout the dinner, their insights encouraged guests to explore new flavours, exchange impressions and discover the selected wines from a fresh perspective.
The evening also highlighted the essential role of the sommelier: guiding the tasting experience, sharing their passion and turning every pairing into a moment of discovery.
A Menu of Subtle Flavours by François Jagut
In the kitchen, Chef François Jagut had designed a refined culinary journey celebrating autumnal flavours and creative combinations.
To begin, mackerel was served with pesto and citrus fruits. The four-course menu then opened with semi-cooked foie gras, accompanied by tuna belly, Jerusalem artichoke and puffed buckwheat. Next came roasted scallops paired with saffron-infused potato, samphire and a lemon condiment.
The dinner continued with aged beef fillet, seared and braised, served with celeriac, chestnuts and quince. Finally, confit Conference pear, accompanied by almond shortbread, celery and pear sorbet, provided a delicate sweet finish, followed by petits fours.
At every stage, the wines selected by the three sommeliers complemented the culinary creations and enhanced the tasting experience.
The Pleasure of Coming Together Around the Table
Beyond the menu and wine pairings, this special evening celebrated the joy of discovery and sharing. It was a wonderful opportunity for guests to connect with the talented teams who bring gastronomy and the art of sommellerie to life at Les Roses.
Our sincere thanks go to Dominique Rizzi, Francesco Di Nola and Guillaume Grabisch, to Chef François Jagut and the entire Les Roses team, and of course to our guests for making this evening such a success.
