Event Details:
The Champagne Masterclasses will begin with a glass of Veuve-Clicquot, Yellow Label, NV. With ‘veuve’ translating as ‘widow,’ it is Madame Clicquot whose remarkable story is behind this eminent Champagne.
Guests will then be guided through an equally remarkable bottle: Champagne Veuve Fourny Blanc de Blanc 2012. Founded by Madame Fourny in an era when women were excluded from the business world, the historic Champagne Veuve Fourny&Fils owes its success to another pioneering matriarch.
Finally, guests will be treated to a glass of Perrier JouetBlason Rosé NV, a Champagne House steeped in romance and femininity. Perrier Jouët was the lovechild of young newlyweds Pierre Nicolas Perrier, the son of a wine grower– and Rose Adelaide (Adèle) Jouët, the daughter of a wine merchant. Symbolic of his affection for his wife, Nicolas shared the title of the family business with Adéle, combining both surnames to form Perrier-Jouët. This was a unique and defiant gesture given the traditional position of women during the 1800s, honouring Adèle’s esteemed influence in the craftsmanship of their product.
