A Bunch of Grapes - A Grower Champagne Panel Masterclass

Over the past decade, there has been a revolution in the

Champagne that graces our wine lists. The familiar names of the

Grandes Marques have been joined by a patchwork of much smaller

domaines that have approaches, terroirs and styles that are

breathtakingly diverse. These Grower Champagnes are much closer to

the soil and the vines than more commercially minded houses and

offer a real chance to celebrate the terroir and the specific sub

regions within Champagne.

We will be joined by Cameron Foster from importer Deux Six and

Simon Thorpe from Thorman Hunt for a discussion about these wines,

the people behind them, the unique challenges that shape them and

the rich rewards in the glas.
