Recently the 6th annual Le French GourMay is kicked off by Mr. Arnaud BARTHELEMY - Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, with overwhelming support from high-profile celebrities, such as Le French GourMay Gastronomic Ambassador Chef Pierre Gagnaire, Le French May Celebrity Ambassador Ms. Amanda S, Rhône Valley Wine Ambassador Mr. Loic Hemard and Celebrity Wine Columnist Ms. Abbie Chan.

Le French GourMay is an annual French food and wine festival organized by Ubifrance - the French Trade Commission in Hong Kong. During this May, Le French GourMay will tickle our taste buds with Rhône Valley Wines and Lyon’s Cuisine. The charm of Le French GourMay has gone beyond our imagination and proved that cuisines are without borders. Over 65 restaurants and bars embrace the festival, including French mostly, but also Chinese restaurants that will offer Rhone Valley wine pairings with their menus. Just as Michelin-starred French Chef Pierre Gagnaire shared his cooking secret that “White wines from the Rhône Valley are perfect for Chinese food”.

It’s intriguing that Rhône Valley wines display a wide variety of distinguishable characteristics. As a seasoned wine columnist and private collector, Ms. Abbie Chan enlightened the Press Conference with many a witty question.

If April comes, can Le French GourMay be far behind? Of course not, Le French GourMay is inching towards you!
