Our appointments start at Champagne Tarlant, one of our recent discoveries that is proving hugely popular for their wonderfully crafted champagnes. Our late afternoon visit, is to Michel Arnould, which is a truly special visit. The family ‘en masse’ generally host us, and treat us to generous tastings of their elegant champagnes in their tasting room, that has wonderful views over the Verzenay vineyards.
Dinner this evening is at Ployez-Jacquemart where Laurence, the skilled wine-maker, is also a gourmet chef.
Our final morning is with Bollinger, renowned for their superb Vintage Grande Année and Vintage RD. These are heavy-weight luxuriant cuvées, amongst the most magnificent of all Champagnes.
Our grande finale is our gourmet lunch at the house of Philipponnat in nearby Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. This is accompanied by their Champagnes including the blockbuster ‘Clos des Goisses’.
