Exploring Champagne through grower estates and historic houses alike, this tasting highlights the role of family, vineyard inheritance, and village identity—an approach that resonates naturally on the eve of Mother’s Day. Chardonnay-driven bottlings from Grand Cru villages like Cramant and Avize sit alongside a 100% Pinot Noir Réserve from the Aube, illustrating the region's diverse terroir. The flight features multi-vintage blends like Louis Roederer’s “Collection 245,” which replaces a fixed house style with a rolling base vintage, while Billecart-Salmon’s rosé is built through the meticulous blending of still red wine rather than saignée, a method the house has maintained for generations. Across the lineup, long-held vineyard parcels and the continuity of family-run domaines offer a view into how Champagne is shaped as much by inheritance as by craft.
