Molière’s Feast
Dinner animated with

at the “Butte du Chateau”
On Friday the 3rd June 2022 the winemakers of Terroir Pézenas, in partnership with the Council of Pézenas and the “Comédie Française” host “Molière’s Feast” 2022, a unique evening in the heart of the historic centre, uniting performing arts with culinary art.
The wines of Terroir Pézenas //
The terroir Pézenas is a true mosaic of soils; stones from the Villefranchien era with shale, limestone and sandstone which were traversed by volcanic basalt flows. This volcanic terroir, which is unique in the Languedoc and even on a global scale, brings complexity and minerality to the wines.
The appellation Pézenas allows only red wines which have a common signature – elegance and finesse. With a rich attack on the palate the wines are balanced and rounded with lingering, silky tannins. These volcanic wines have a great potential for cellaring. And our wines naturally call to be matched with an original menu.
The dinner //
The dinner will be created by the Michelin-starred chef, Charles Fontès, La Réserve Rimbaud Montpellier, served in the traditional French style of the time.
Guests will have the privilege of tasting AOC Languedoc-Pézenas wines presented by the winemakers.
The dinner will be punctuated with scenes from Molière’s plays, interpreted by the theatre troop, the Illustre Théâtre.
The evening – A choice of 1 or 2 acts
Please note that the performance will be in French with no translation provided, but the theatre is optional and you can reserve for the fabulous dinner alone should you wish.
