Jide Adenuga, (CEO, 3 Inclusive Ltd – exclusive importers of Montaudon) and first son of Dr. Mike Adenuga, the Chairman of Globacom, hosted the launch of Montaudon Champagne.
I wonder how many people in Nigeria gave a special thought or concern to Wednesday, 11-12-13. For Mr. Jide Adenuga, C.E.O. of 3 Inclusive Ltd., a wholly owned indigenous company, it was very symbolic and special. So he decided to fix the launch of his Champagne Montaudon on that fateful date. All people of discerning taste were invited to the Porsche Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos for a wonderful evening to unveil the Champagne Montaudon which comes in six different cuvees.
The brand was unveiled by the Vice Consul General de France to Nigeria, Serge Kuhn (stepping in for His Excellency, Monsieur François Sastourné).
In attendance were the General Managers of Sheraton Lagos Hotel, Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel, Four Points by Sheraton Lagos, Animex Hotels and a large representative of the Diplomatic corps blended with the creme de la creme of the Nigerian society.
Champagne Montaudon, is a well established brand of Champagne from Reims, France, 1891. Mr. Jide Adenuga whose business pedigree goes way back to three generations has taken a very bold step to strike a deal with the House of Montaudon to be their exclusive distributor in Nigeria.
In the well attended high profile event, that brought together the powers that be in the hospitality business and reputable connoisseurs; a Vice Consul of Consulat General de France did the unveiling in a very colourful ceremony.
The distinguished guests then had a most wonderful time tasting and sampling these different cuvees; 1) Montaudon Reserve Premiere Brut 2) Montaudon Reserve Premiere Demi Sec 3) Montaudon Chardonnay Premier Cru 4) Montaudon Brut Millesime 5) Montaudon Grande Rose 6) Montaudon Classe M
We were there to capture the event live. Mr. Jide Adenuga has taken a small business step; which translates to a giant leap for quality wining and dining in Nigeria. Champagne Montaudon has upped the bar for quality social events.
