Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition including Binaural Sound Experience is £174. The cinematic audio adventure celebrates Krug's music-as-craftsmanship metaphor, showcasing how the most harmonious voices come together to do so, and is a must-listen for any wine lover worth their salt. That expression is the Grand Cuvee, which is re-created annually, beyond the notion of vintage and is a blend of more than 120 individual wines from more than ten different years. So what exactly is it? Using the analogy of a choir, the experience takes you on a whistle-stop tour of Champagne to introduce the different unique "voices" that make up production, rooted in the near-200-year-old dream of director Olivier Krug’s grandfather, who wanted to offer the most generous expression of champagne every year. Here at GQ, we've had a listen first-hand and, trust us, it's as impressive as it sounds – the soaring emotion it evokes is enough to warm even the hardest heart. Created in collaboration with Belgian musician and 3-D music pioneer Ozark Henry, the multi-sensory and multi-dimensional experience in the form of 8-D music is specially designed for headphones, allowing listeners to enjoy the ultimate music and champagne pairing at home. The one thing better than a cold flute of Krug champagne is a cold flute of Krug champagne enjoyed to a soundtrack of epic proportions, which is precisely why we're so excited about the release of the Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition, which comes complete with a binaural sound experience. And, if you’re anything like us, that sounds absolutely perfect. As you may have guessed from what you’ve heard, don’t even think about wearing a costume or you won’t be permitted through the door. Highlights include a “poisonous” mushroom made from parfait, a decadent dish bringing together scallop, oyster, caviar, white chocolate and gold leaf and tenderloin with truffle fit for the Bruce Wayne dinner table. Instead, references are subtle and the food – courtesy of executive chef Karl O’Dell, formerly of Michelin-starred Texture – is defiantly upscale.
The intimate 20-seat space offers a ten-course tasting menu and a multi-sensory immersive experience (floor-to-ceiling screens, 360-degree projection mapping) with plenty of Fat Duck-like inflections.īut you’ll never find on-the-nose appearances from the familiar DC dramatis personae. The prestige option? The Monarch Theatre – and don’t for a moment think that because it is “themed” it isn’t premium. Located in the huge site that used to play host to that gargantuan early 2000s restaurant Titanic, it comprises five restaurants and bars.
That’s the idea behind Park Row, a dining destination inspired by the world of DC Comics. Imagine stepping into a restaurant in Gotham City – not a Batman “theme” restaurant but more the kind of place where you could run into Commissioner Gordon.
