A Vertical of Le Mesnil in Magnum, Tutored Cellar Tasting, 15 November

Le Mesnil-sur-Oger is the name of the most famous village in the Côte des Blancs of Champagne, and has a reputation for producing the finest Chardonnay used in all the very best Champagnes. Le Mesnil is the name of a prestigious champagne cooperative located here and all of its grapes are from this village. It has the added prestige of having been granted Grand Cru status. Tonight you will be treated to a superlative range of vintages presented in magnum with the producer and our Champagne Buyer, Simon Field MW, both to hand.
