Imagine tasting Dom Pérignon and Taittinger Comtes de Champagne in the same night. Dream on? OK, let’s add Bollinger La Grande Année, Gosset Grande Réserve and Laurent-Perrier Rosé to
the line-up. Cloud cuckoo land? No, The Wine Gang’s Prestige Champagne Tasting
on Tuesday
11th December in central London. It’s from 6–9pm, giving the five of us time to present 10 great Champagnes, two from each of the five
houses, and time to break for canapés and a chat with our select group of attendees.
There’s even a goodie bag to take home which includes a bottle of Champagne
from one of these five great houses.
Drool over the detailed programme and then the full tasting list below, but don’t spend too
long because the event is strictly limited to 30 participants, however many
ticket applications.
