What's Pressoir Drinking? (Club Member BYO - Champagne)

October 21, 2020

by Edouard Bourgeois

Nice lineup for our virtual gathering on Tuesday. Thanks for sharing your impressions on the great bubbles you enjoyed with us. The fascinating diversity of the wines of Champagne was really well highlighted. Even some obscure varieties like Fromenteau, also known as Pinot Gris or even Pinot Beurot made it to this fun BYO. It is also great to see both historic producers like Drappier, founded in 1808, but also the talented winemakers of the new generation were chosen. These young craftsmen and women, often in their late thirties, are shaping the wine world of tomorrow and we see a bright future through their dedication.

We hope that Champagne corks are flying left and right in your home and that La Fête du Champagne is a good excuse to bring some joy during these trying times.
