From May 15-20, 2023oenophiles and celebrities renowned from the world of wine will gather for the 6e edition of the “La Paulée” event organized by Constance Hotels & Resorts Mauritius. Another fine program of exchanges and sharing, as the hotel group knows so well how to organize them, which will once again welcome domains winegrowing of prestige.
Gastronomic festivals and competitions with starred and renowned chefs, wine tastings and regular exchanges with the world’s best winemakers… at Constance Hotels & Resorts, there’s no shortage of culinary and wine initiatives! The next event will be the Paulée, a tribute to the Paulée de Meursault which traditionally celebrates the end of the grape harvest in Burgundy. The aim? To create a moment of sharing between winemakers, customers and sommeliers , while enriching the knowledge of wine professionals at the group’s two Mauritian hotels. “La Paulée aims to create an oenological experience for guests and helps our sommeliers enrich their expertise and progress towards excellence. This annual gathering has become a true benchmark for wine lovers. Our guests enjoy meeting leading figures from the wine world for workshops, and our sommeliers appreciate the training courses on offer,” explains Jérôme Faure, Corporate Sommelier at Constance Hotels & Resorts.
A popular event for sommeliers
For Jérôme Faure, it remains essential for sommeliers to meet winemakers to gain a better understanding of wines and their origins. It’s at an event like this one that this learning process comes to the fore. “For several years now, within the hotel group, we have attached great importance to the development of our teams. In Mauritius, we don’t have any vineyards. So it’s a unique opportunity to have winemakers come and share their expertise. Through these exchanges with them, sommeliers acquire knowledge about the history of wines, how they are made and the terroir, which is indispensable in our profession.”
Prestigious estates are expected
A number of winemakers will be making the trip to Mauritius to present their wines in the form of wine and food pairing dinners. They include: Domaine Devillard (Burgundy), Domaine Pierre Jean Villa(Rhône Valley ), Domaine Nouemarinic (Slovenia) and Domaine Julien Schaal (Alsace & South Africa). Each evening will be punctuated by a succulent dinner orchestrated by the hotel group’s chefs. An event not to be missed!
