Andre Robert Grower Champagne Masterclass
Join us for an exclusive and distinguished evening as we explore and savour the exquisite wines from Champagne André Robert, now available for the first time in Australia. This family-owned and independent winegrower, nestled in the picturesque Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, boasts an astounding 85% of its vineyards within the prestigious Grand Cru or Premier Cru appellations.
Guiding us through this remarkable journey is the esteemed French sommelier, Loic Avril (As You Wish Wines). With an impressive background that includes honing his expertise at Heston Blumenthal’s flagship Fat Duck restaurant in the UK, where he was crowned the world’s best young sommelier in 2013, Loic brings a wealth of knowledge and understanding to this masterclass.
The wines we’ll be tasting, truly exemplify the distinctive character of Champagne. Exhibiting a delightful creaminess and finesse on the palate, they eloquently express purity, freshness, and minerality, offering a genuine reflection of the chalky soil in which the vines thrive.
This masterclass is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for those seeking to appreciate exceptional, artisanal winemaking. Limited spots are available, so secure your place now for this unforgettable evening. Experience 7 outstanding cuvées accompanied by the finest French cheese and charcuterie as we raise our glasses in celebration of France’s most glamorous wine region.
