Champagnes and sparkling wines

Organised by "Paris Kedge Alumni Wine Tasting"

Online KEDGE Alumni Wine Tasting

1st SEMESTER - Session 4: Thursday, 13 January 2022, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm:

Champagnes and Sparkling Wines

Discover the sparkling wines (Champagne, Crémant, Cava, Prosecco, Vouvray), as well as the various methods of production. A journey to the heart of bubbles.

These events, which have taken place for 20 years now, are led by Muriel Petit, professional oenologist, and KEDGE Alumnus Olivier Mora.

Our oenological meetings are open to all KEDGE students and graduates, as well as to external participants, whether located in France or abroad. The sessions will take place by videoconference once a month starting at 7 pm. Participants will receive PDF documentation prior to the session and will be able to interact and ask our oenologist any questions they may have. What's more, each session ends with a live tasting!

OPTIONAL: If you’d like, you can purchase a wine corresponding to the theme of the eventing to taste during the session. Prior to each session, you will receive wine suggestions related to that evening’s theme.

Here is a selection of champagnes that can be purchased from Nicolas:

Champagne Pol Roger
Champagne Ayala
Champagne Malard 1er cru
Crémant de Loire Langlois
Crémant d'Alsace Muré
Prosecco Vini Dei Bottega

These recommended champagnes, which can be purchased at Nicolas, are indicative only. Given the diversity of the course topics, recommending only one wine would not be representative of the content of the session, so we recommend several wines. The wines in bold are good value for the quality and/or wines at the most reasonable prices.
