French patissier and host of Baking Mad on DStv's BBC Lifestyle channel Eric Lanlard boasting his latest book 'Tart it Up'
 
Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Brut Rose 2009


World renowned French celebrity Chef tarts it up with Kaapse Vonkel
16 July 2012  by Simonsig
Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Brut Rosé took centre stage at a star studded London event when celebrity chef Eric Lanlard, the world renowned French patissier and host of Baking Mad on DStv's BBC Lifestyle channel served it to glamorous British foodies at the launch of his latest book 'Tart it Up!'.
To entice celebrity palates, Kaapse Vonkel Brut Rosé with its elegant, soft bead, was served with decadent tarts such as fig, lardon and Dolcelatte and broccoli and beetroot followed by an array of Eric's signature desserts.

This famous French chef keeps Simonsig's flagship Cap Classique Cuvée Royale in the private cellar of his magnificent UK home and enjoys it so much that he "would spend his last R200 on a bottle", as quoted in a recent magazine interview.

Converting a true Frenchman to choose a South African Cap Classique over French Champagne, is no small feat and especially fitting for Simonsig, the first South African wine estate to create a sparkling wine made according to the French tradition of secondary bottle fermentation back in 1971.
