WEDNESDAY, DEC 1st @ 6 PM - $35"Champagne Jacquart" Wine Tasting

Join us for an awesome Champagne tasting with the regional manager of Jacquart, Benoit Petillon. "It is the passion for the terroir of Champagne, and the wines, that pushed a handful of winemakers to create Jacquart. In 1964, this bold economic vision was the first sign of audacity as up until that point vineyards were only grouped by their village.Champagne Jacquart’s founders immediately saw the bigger picture: the House should unite winegrowers, across the region, in a shared style and shared brand values. The two founding directors were Maurice Bonnet who became president, and Joseph Fresne.The Mosaique Collection represents the heart of the brand. Champagne Jacquart Brut Mosaique is its signature cuvee, and represents its house style. The vineyards cultivated by its winemakers cover 2,400 hectares spread over sixty crus, that is to say, sixty villages throughout the Champagne area.Jacquart selects only the best 350 hectares for winemaking. The Brut Mosaique is a Champagne for all times, sharing the pleasures of daily life, celebrating good news – it is the champagne you always have in the fridge." - Laurent Reinteau: Managing Director of Jacquart.
