Highlights at the Grand Tasting
Mystères de Champagne
Acqua Panna Water Harmonization
Be sure to check out “Mystères de Champagne” at the Grand Tasting - a 20-minute interactive tasting experience led by Royal Champagne’s chef sommelier Philippe Marques.
Every decision counts in the Champagne-making process, and Philippe invites you to discover their influence by tasting two cuvées in which only one production variable differs, allowing you to compare their real impact once in the glass.
Explore the influence of lees aging, dosage, cork or capsule bottling, the influence of terroir, and more through the lens of complementary wines from Moussé, Brice, and Leclerc-Briant.
Come to enjoy an official harmonization by Acqua Panna and S.Pellegrino that focuses on the interaction between the differences in waters while pairing with Haute Caviar. This experience is sure to make your tastebuds tingle and your palette dance.
