On Wednesday 11th October we’re delighted to host our tasting event in our characterful wine bar, Champagne Charlies tucked away beneath the arches of Charing Cross. It will make the perfect location for a sparkling evening with Champagne Gardet.
With a history dating back to 1895, Gardet Champagne house was passed from generation to generation until 2007 when it was purchased by the Prieux family, who have had their roots in the Champagne region since the 17th century. We’re thrilled to welcome Christophe Prieux, President of Gardet to host this wonderful tasting.
Christophe and his family have invested in the business wisely over the years, retaining the features and styles of the wines, refining them with wonderful fruit freshness and balance. The house currently owns around 7 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards. Despite its smaller scale, Gardet remains dedicated to crafting wines of exceptional quality, producing approximately 1.2 million bottles annually. To put this into perspective, a larger house like Moët & Chandon produces close to 30 million bottles.
We will start the evening with Davy’s Celebration Champagne served in magnum as an aperitif. Christophe will then talk us through the history of the house and the methods behind these amazing wines. We’ll then taste through some of Gardet’s finest wines, among them are the esteemed 2005 and 2006 Charles Gardet Prestige Brut as well as the Prestige Blanc de Blancs. We will taste through these and enjoy a specially matched and seasonal four-course dinner with wine pairings.
