Champagne : The new Generation

Service Description

THE CHAMPAGNE YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT Forget the big Houses. Forget sugary dosages and glamorous marketing. A generation of independent growers is rewriting Champagne's rules. They vinify parcel by parcel. Reduce sugar to the extreme (brut nature, extra-brut). Let the chalk, the hillsides, the truth of place speak. Their champagnes are alive, energetic, sometimes disconcerting. Always sincere. This masterclass plunges you into this revolution through six confidential cuvées that tell the story of those who dare to defy convention. A JOURNEY THROUGH SIX REGIONS Montagne de Reims – Two champagnes of character: a pure Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs, then a blend marrying power and elegance. Depth incarnate. Vallée de la Marne – Meunier rehabilitated. Long scorned, now revealed. Roundness, generous fruit, immediate drinkability. Côte des Blancs – Chiseled Blanc de Blancs. Chardonnay on chalk in all its mineral purity. No dominant oak, just the verticality of terroir. Côte de Sézanne – The ignored region producing champagnes of remarkable finesse. Quality of the great names, insider prices. Côte des Bar (Aube) – The unknown South. Solar, generous Blanc de Noirs. A different expression of Pinot Noir. WHAT AWAITS YOU Six champagnes. Six stories of growers turning their backs on established recipes. You discover how to read a grower's label (RC, NM, RM – these codes that reveal everything). You understand why certain €40 champagnes surpass €150 prestige cuvées. No jargon. No ratings. Just the ability to make your own informed choices next time you open a wine list. WHY NOW? Champagne is in full transformation and few people realize it. In the cellars of independent growers, a revolution is underway. These champagnes tell another story – one of craft, place, audacity. If you want to understand where Champagne is going, come meet those who are reinventing it.
