Known for his creative Italian-inspired cuisine with a contemporary twist, Chef Maurizio’s approach to cooking aligns beautifully with Dom Pérignon’s ethos of quality and innovation. The Society is thrilled to welcome Chef Maurizio, representing Indonesia in this prestigious international group.
A handshake to remember: The Dom Pérignon Society plaque presentation
The official handover ceremony was held with all the elegance you’d expect from a partnership of this calibre. Matthew Heng, Market Manager of Moët Hennessy Indonesia, presented the Dom Pérignon Society plaque to Chef Maurizio in recognition of his remarkable contributions to gastronomy. Heng shared, “We are honoured to welcome Chef Maurizio and MAURI Restaurant as the first Indonesian member of the Dom Pérignon Society. His dedication to extraordinary flavours and inventive cuisine resonates with the artistry of Dom Pérignon, making him a valuable addition to our community.”
For Chef Maurizio, this recognition is more than just a prestigious title; it’s a testament to years of hard work, innovation, and a commitment to his craft. “Joining the Dom Pérignon Society is not just a dream come true; it’s a profound honour that reflects the dedication of my incredible team,” Chef Maurizio shared. “I’m looking forward to exploring the harmonious relationship between my culinary creations and Dom Pérignon’s exceptional champagnes.”
What this means for Bali’s dining scene
Chef Maurizio’s induction into the Dom Pérignon Society is not only a personal achievement, but also a huge win for Bali’s culinary reputation. His restaurant, MAURI, has quickly become a go-to for an elevated dining experience in Bali, and now, his unrivalled Italian-inspired creations can be enjoyed alongside a selection of Dom Pérignon’s renowned champagnes.
As Bali’s first chef to receive this honour, Chef Maurizio is setting the stage for a new chapter in the island’s dining scene — one that combines world-class cuisine, local creativity and one of the world’s most iconic champagnes .
