Event Description

My name is Cécile Bergart, and as a Champagne Expert (born amongst the vineyards of the Champagne Region, France), I will be presenting you with the very best bubbles the Champagne region has to offer and will run this tasting in the most entertaining and educational way!

I am a published Champagne and Wine Educator, a guest champagne expert for Champagne World Magazine and for Channel 4 'SuperScrimpers', a regular guest speaker on BBC Radio Solent, as well as being an approved staff educator for Marks and Spencer. I was also a Ruinart Champagne Ambassador in the UK in 2014/15 and I am now a staff educator for the UK Champagne Bureau. Passed the world-acclaimed Champagne Master-Level Certificate first time, back in 2018.

Here are the 7 fine champagne wines from small growers that you will taste on the night:

  • Champagne P.Lancelot-Royer 'Cuvée des Chevaliers' GRAND CRU Blanc de Blancs Brut NV (100% Chardonnay)
  • Champagne Paul Sadi 'Virgile' GRAND CRU Brut NV (70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay)
  • Champagne Julien Chopin Blanc de Blancs GRAND CRU VINTAGE 2012 Brut NV (100% Chardonnay)
  • Champagne Julien Chopin Blanc de Rosé PREMIER CRU Brut NV (90% Chardonnay, 10% GRAND CRU Bouzy Pinot Noir) 
  • Champagne CL De La Chapelle 'Instinct' PREMIER CRU Brut NV (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Meunier)
  • Champagne Julien Chopin Blanc & Meunier Brut NV (90% Meunier, 10% Chardonnay)
  • Champagne Julien Chopin Blanc de Noirs Extra-Brut NV (60% Pinot Noir, 40% Meunier)

My favourite tasting by far, so come and join me for a truly decadent evening, which I will start off by sabring a bottle of Champagne for your eyes only! I was trained by the Confrerie des Sabreurs and will be delighted to show off my skills, opening up a bottle of champagne with a sword, just like Napoleon used to do!
