2022 Gosset Matchmakers Open for entries

The competition, now in its seventh year, represents the pinnacle of Champagne and gastronomy pairing. 


This year’s competition will, once again, attract the very best contestants, with continued partnerships with The Sommelier Collective, and Le Cordon Bleu London standing firmly at its side. Gosset Matchmakers recognises and awards up-and-coming sommelier and chef partnerships who create perfect food and wine pairings in restaurants and other eateries all over the country. 

This year Champagne Gosset continues to set the bar high, with a challenge to create one innovative dish to match with one of Gosset’s fine champagnes, Gosset Grande Reserve. Entrants must use Gosset Grande Reserve, ensuring the champagne is a perfect match with the creation they choose to present. 

The competition is open to sommeliers and chefs teams who have no more than five years professional work experience in the UK trade. They do not have to be working together in same establishment to enter, but can pair up with someone from a different place of work and apply as a team.

GOOD LUCK!
