The UK’s Definitive Champagne Tasting to feature 60 producers
The UK’s first major Champagne trade tasting for almost a decade will feature as many as 60 producers and has already attracted 600 sign-ups from retail buyers to press and sommeliers.
Called The Definitive Champagne Tasting, and taking place on 1 April at the Tate Modern in London’s Bankside, the event could already be called a success, but is still encouraging visitors to register their interest.
As db was the first to report, the event is the first generic Champagne trade tasting to take place in London since 2018.
Organised by the UK’s Champagne Shippers’ Association, which is chaired by James Simpson MW – who is also managing director of Pol Roger Portfolio – the trade tasting will feature non-vintage and vintage self-pour tables and 60 producers, including houses, cooperatives and growers.
