A Toast to Tradition at JW Marriott

An exclusive celebration of culinary artistry and Champagne heritage awaits on April 29, 2025, as JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa partners with the esteemed Champagne Delamotte for a refined dining experience set within the intimate Wine Room, nestled inside Aailaa— the resort’s all-day dining venue overlooking the Indian Ocean. The evening will be hosted by Grégoire Blanc, Export Manager for Champagne Salon and Champagne Delamotte in Asia. With a career spanning London, Hong Kong, and Sydney, Mr. Blanc brings deep expertise and passion to the table, offering guests exclusive insights into the art, nuance, and story behind each pour.
A Celebration of Heritage and Terroir
Established in 1760, Champagne Delamotte is among the oldest houses in the region, distinguished by its dedication to quality and expressive, terroir-driven winemaking. Continuing the legacy of its founder, Delamotte produces champagnes with bold simplicity—each bottle shaped by the unique character of the Côte des Blancs and the finesse of powerful, airy Chardonnays. 
For one night only, guests will have the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in this legacy, with each course thoughtfully paired to elevate the delicate nuances of Delamotte’s distinguished cuvées. The evening will showcase an delicate selection of champagnes—NV Delamotte Brut, NV Delamotte Blanc de Blancs, NV Delamotte Rosé, and 2018 Delamotte Blanc de Blancs—personally selected by Grégoire Blanc to perfectly complement the evening’s five-course menu.
Delamotte believes champagne should be a language spoken by all—gourmets and the naturally curious alike. With this spirit, the house seeks to make every tasting an experience that is both refined and approachable. At its heart is a philosophy rooted in joy, simplicity, and shared moments—reflected in the motto "Vive et me ama": Live and love me.
“This collaboration is a reflection of our commitment to curating meaningful and immersive experiences for our guests,” says Mohit Dembla, General Manager of JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa. “By bringing together the storied legacy of Champagne Delamotte and the culinary artistry of our talented team, we look forward to presenting an evening that is both elegant and unforgettable.”
