How we choose champagne for our portfolio
1
We know what's going on in the region
In order to keep abreast of the latest information and trends in the region, we visit Champagne several times per year, meeting face-to-face with all our producers.
2
We stand of the shoulders of wine giants
We never stop in professional development and actively use ratings and books by recognized "champagne experts" - Michael Edwards, Tyson Stelzer, Peter Liem, Richard Juhlin. And yes, we look up to Jancis Robinson, Antonio Galloni and Dr. Jamie Goode - because they are indisputable authorities. And they have good taste.
3
We are constantly in touch with top champagne producers
First, it is an opportunity to get insider information long before the rest of the market, and second, personal touch and reputation are the key to success in a region such conservative as Champagne.
