Christmas came early this year. Renowned French wine guide Bettane+Desseauve and French restaurant critic Guide Lebey will be popping some of the finest bubbles from Champagne houses and grower estates for a joyful end-of-year celebration.
A hand-picked selection including Champagne Tattinger, Champagne Comté de Montaigne, Champagne Agrapart, Champagne Fleury to the region’s oldest Champagne house Champagne Henri Giraud will be poured at the ‘Jingle and Bubbles’-themed tasting on December 19.
Outside of Champagne, a range of sparkling wines including Cava producer Pares Balta, Loire Valley’s Domaine Jo Landron and France’s Domaine Belluard will also be served, along with cider producer Eric Bordelet.
