Themed Tasting Event : Vintage Champagne Brilliance - Indulge in the Finest of 2012
The 2012 vintage in Champagne is tipped as one of the greatest in 2010’s. Aside from a brief threat of frost and mildew at the beginning of the season, it was a perfect and pleasant growing season throughout the year. This resulted in healthy crops and concentrated grapes at just the right ripeness and acidity during harvest. This is one of the very rare vintages where we can see almost every champagne house producing their best wines.
We are delighted to share a few prestige Champagnes with you on Friday 30 Aug . Diebolt-Vallois Fleur de Passino, with 40-60+ years of old vines from Cramant and only fermented in oak barrels. A complex and well structured Champagne. Doyard Clos de l’Abbaye, a premier cru from Vertus. With almost 70 years old vines located in a small 0.47-hectare parcel. Using 100% Burgundy old oak barrel for maturing and settling 4 years for second fermentation in the bottle. Less than 2,000 bottles are produced per year. Charles Heidsieck, one of the most underrated and historical champagne houses. They have meticulously selected 10 Grand and Premier Crus for this cuvée. It is enticing for its pleasant smoothness, aromatic intensity, and the saline freshness that is so typical of the House. Pascal Agrapart Experience, one of the most epic and pure expressions from them. This cuvee comes from old vines in Avize, and was produced by an ultimate natural process.
