Workshop Overview
Champagne’s magic begins with geography.
Cold northern latitude, chalk soils, and centuries of refinement create wines defined by tension, precision, and longevity. In this workshop, we’ll explore how climate shapes acidity, how dosage influences balance, and how Champagne develops with age.
Through guided tasting, you’ll discover why Champagne is more than a celebratory drink — it is one of the world’s most serious and age-worthy wines.
This session reframes Champagne as a wine of place, structure, and depth.
