A Grand Vintage Affair: Château Cheval Blanc Dinner at GoldBar

It was one of those rare Kuala Lumpur evenings where everything seemed touched with a little magic. GoldBar’s golden glow set the stage for an exclusive Château Cheval Blanc Wine Dinner, hosted by LamboCellar, where every detail was polished to perfection.

The guest list was as refined as the wines themselves ,among them, His Excellency Mr. Axel Cruau, Ambassador of France to Malaysia, whose presence brought a touch of diplomatic glamour, and Carole André, the celebrated Cellar Master of Château Cheval Blanc, who whisked guests into the stories, terroir, and soul of each vintage poured.

Four Wines, Four Moments

The night unfolded like a symphony, starting with the lively elegance of Le Petit Cheval 2018, moving into the Franco-Argentinian romance of Le Cheval des Andes 2020, deepening with the graceful maturity of Château Cheval Blanc 2011, and culminating in the powerful yet poised Château Cheval Blanc 2018. Each sip was a conversation, a memory in the making.

Plates as Beautiful as the Pours

To match the wines, Atelier delivered a culinary performance - artisanal plates and premium yakitori that seemed almost choreographed to dance with each glass. Every pairing felt like a love letter between kitchen and vineyard.

An Evening to Remember

Laughter and conversation flowed as smoothly as the wine. Between sips, guests leaned in closer to hear Carole André’s insights, secrets from the cellar that few outside Bordeaux ever get to hear. There was an unspoken understanding in the room: this wasn’t just dinner. This was a once-in-a-lifetime evening.

With events like these, Lambocellar continues to redefine what it means to enjoy fine wine in Malaysia - creating invitation-only experiences where rarity meets refinement, and every glass tells a story.
