All New Bubbles! Grower Champagne Flight, Friday 7th February, tables from 6.30pm

Tables from 6.30pm, we'll contact you for your preferred time.

As many of you know, our love for Grower Champagnes runs deep, and last year we had the pleasure of discovering some new wines from grower producers that we think are truly special! So, we’re kicking off our wine events this year with a Champagne flight showcasing our new discoveries.

We think Grower Champagnes offer some of the best value and most intriguing expressions from the Champagne region. These artisanal wines are crafted and bottled by small, independent, family-owned producers. Using grapes from specific parcels of land and blending in small lots, these wines exhibit a greater sense of terroir and embody the unique winemaking styles of their vignerons. They have seen a surge in popularity due to their complexity, individuality, and character. They provide a refreshing and exciting alternative to the larger Champagne houses, and we’re thrilled to share them with you.

This untutored tasting flight will take you through a range of grower Champagne styles—from the delicate elegance of Blanc de Blanc to more full-bodied, vinous expressions. We’ll start with an aperitif, followed by a flight of five exceptional Champagnes, accompanied by a sharing board of Scottish smoked salmon three ways. from our friends at Kintyre Smokehouse on the Kintyre Peninsula.

Why smoked salmon?  We think it’s a match made in heaven with Champagne. The delicate richness of the salmon, with its subtle smokiness and velvety texture, enhances the crisp, vibrant elegance of Champagne. Don't worry if your vegan or vegetarian, just let us know and we'll substitute with something equally delicious!

A Relaxed and Informal Tasting Experience

This wine tasting is designed to be untutored and informal, allowing you to explore the Champagnes at your own pace. Full tasting notes will be provided at your table, offering valuable background information and plenty of space for you to jot down your own thoughts and observations.
