Champagne and Venison

Champagne and Venison

The elegance of Champagne and the tenderness of Venison both working together to create a perfect dinner.

The word Venison arrived in England during the 11th century Norman Conquest and the establishment of Royal Forests, it comes from the Latin word, ‘Venari’. The meat comes from elk or deer, or in South Africa, antelope.
