A special evening with one of our favourite Champagne growers, at one of London’s finest restaurants
Based in Rilly-La-Montagne, on the Montagne de Reims, Champagne Vilmart has long been one of our favourite Champagne houses. It’s Laurent Champs who makes the wines here, and he crafts complex, long-lived wines that dazzle with their balance, as well as their value for money.
It’s not only the supreme quality of his wines that leads to comparisons with Krug: there’s also the winemaking techniques. Vilmart’s wines undergo first fermentation in old oak barrels, giving added texture and complexity: a technique that’s also used at Krug (and Bollinger). These are serious, complex Champagnes that we've championed for years.
So we are delighted to be joined by Laurent in March for a dinner with his wines, at one of London’s top restaurants - HIDE. Chef Ollie Dabbous has received critical acclaim for his cooking with HIDE being the pinnacle of his journey so far. He will be creating a special menu to pair with the magnificent selection of Champagnes, including some older vintages straight from Vilmart’s cellar.
This will no doubt be an effervescent evening in many ways - but with places limited as usual please do secure your spot as soon as possible.
