Mumm welcomes a Grand of Tomorrow

Mumm is inaugurating a new restaurant in Reims: the Table des Chefs. In the plural, because, on the model of artists' residencies, the champagne house will be inviting chefs to come and take charge for three months in its private mansion from May 12. The first chef to be invited is one of our latest Demain 2023 Grands, Mallory Gabsi, who will be at the helm until early August. He will be succeeded by Florian Barbarot (Quelque Part, 2 toques, Paris) in August, then Kelly Rangama (Le Faham, 2 toques, Paris) from November. Food and wine pairings will be devised by Raimonds Tomsons, voted World's Best Sommelier last February. S. B.
