Wine Seminar: Champagne, An Exploration of Styles

Taste nine unique Champagnes presented by Lauren Reches of Skurnik Imports and Marika Vida-Arnold for Champagne Delamotte. Three essential styles of champagne Brut, Blanc de Blancs and Rosé will be explored with three wines in each flight. Discover how the grapes of Champagne – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Menuier – perform as a single varietal expression and then how they harmonize when blended together as a cuvée or “assemblage”. The three flights will include Champagne Delamotte Brut, in addition to Gaston Chiquet Brut Tradition and Pehu-Simonet Face Nord Brut. The Cuvée Prestige selections consist of Champagne Delamotte Blanc de Blancs along with Chiquet Blanc de Blancs d’Ay and Pehu-Simonet Blanc de Blancs “Fin Lieux #6” 2014. The Rosé cuvées include Champagne Delamotte Rosé with Chiquet Rosé and Pehu-Simonet Face Nord Rosé.
