Fine Wine Tasting – Champagne

Champagne has a way of making any occasion feel special, but there’s far more to it than the pop of a cork. Behind every bottle lies a combination of vineyard character, skilful blending and patient ageing, creating wines with remarkable depth and personality.

Our Fine Champagne Tasting is an opportunity to explore this celebrated region through a carefully selected line-up of fine Champagnes. Limited to just 10 guests, this intimate tasting gives you time to savour each glass, compare contrasting styles and discover the details that make each wine distinctive.

Guided by one of Loki’s wine experts, we’ll explore the roles of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, and how they contribute freshness, structure, fruit and finesse. Expect elegant bubbles, layered flavours and plenty of discoveries as we consider the influence of vineyard location, reserve wines and time spent ageing on the lees.

We’ll make sense of terms such as Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs, vintage and non-vintage, while exploring how producer choices shape the finished wine. Along the way, we’ll discuss dosage, serving temperature and glassware, with practical advice to help you get more enjoyment from every bottle.

Expect exceptional Champagnes, fascinating stories and relaxed conversation in a small-group setting. With only 10 places available, this is a special opportunity to give Champagne the attention it deserves.
