Posted on by Jean-Christophe Boucton

‘The St. Regis International Cup is returning on Saturday the 16th at Cowdray Park for the opening of the international Polo season in the UK. The High Goal Polo match will see St Regis Polo Connoisseur Nacho Figueras play on the Americas team against England.

This event will give Champagne Boucton the opportunity to associate with the world renowned St. Regis Group, offering the readers of Vogue, Marie-Claire, the Stylist, the Telegraph, InStyle, Emerald Street, Sheerluxe, The Resident Online and Square Mile the opportunity to experience Champagne Boucton Cuvée Blanc de Blancs which is part of their Gourmet Picnic Hamper.

Leading England and playing in the number 3 shirt, will be 7 goal player James Beim, who has taken over the England captaincy in 2015. He is joined at number 1 by 6 goal player Richard Le Poer and at number 2 by Max Charlton, at 24 years of age considered to be one of England’s rising stars. The experienced James Harper, 6 goals, will play at Back, completing a strong 26 goal line-up. Once again, St. Regis Connoisseur Nacho Figueras, 6 goals, will feature in the overseas side, which will be captained by 8 goal Chilean player Jaime Huidobro. The team also includes Mattias Torres Zavaleta, 7 goals, and 5 goal player Manuel Elizalde. In 2014, in a team which featured both Beim and Charlton, England beat a tough South American side 11½-8 and this year’s encounter looks to be just as exciting.

Champagne Jean Boucton Blanc de Blancs is exclusively blended with Chardonnay and pairs perfectly with smoked salmon, Nacarii caviar, Tuscan chocolate and other delights to be found in the Hamper.

Carrying on with the St Regis Tradition of organizing post Polo match suppers, Champagne Boucton Blanc de Blancs and Champagne Jean Boucton Cuvée will also be served in the evening at the St Regis VIP ‘Downtown Abbey’ Style dinner hosted at Cowdray Park House, the house of Lord and Lady Cowdray.
