Bottle v Magnum & Jeroboam
Thursday 8 October 2015
,
The standout Champagne event of the year, this is an exciting opportunity to experience how six mature prestige cuvée Champagnes have aged in bottle vs. magnum or jeroboam. Something happens to Champagne aged in magnum; their evolution slows, factors come into play that we can't always explain and it's like a little magic is sprinkled: what was a superbly rich Champagne in bottle, seems even more rich and complex in magnum – they are differently amazing. Add to the mix three now very rare and excellent vintages of Champagne, 1996, 1998 and 2002 and this event is truly one of a kind.
Fittingly, along with these world-class prestige cuvée Champagnes, we have the world's leading wine critic Jancis Robinson MW presenting this event and she will be talking guests through what promises to be a fantastic discovery, tasting these eleven superb Champagnes. This is The Champagne Event of the year and one not to be missed.
