​
At the foot of the Montagne de Reims, the Georges Vesselle vineyard covers 17 hectares, spread over half-way up the hillside around the village. The vineyard boasts the much sought-after Grand Cru appellation. The cellars have been dug 16 m deep into chalk and exist at a constant temperature of 10 °C.
​
Bouzy is famous for its champagnes, but also for its red wines (Coteaux Champenois) which have acquired a name of their own: Bouzy Rouge.
​
Bruno Vesselle (Head of Business Development and Communication) will be with us at the event to introduce and discuss the Cuvées being presented with each course.
​
-
Grand Cru Cuvée - 'Vintage 2012, Brut Nature'​
Vinified without adding 'dosage', revealing its 'naked truth' (90% Pinot Noir 10% Chardonnay).
​
-
Grand Cru Cuvée - 'Blanc de Blancs, Brut Extra'
100% Chardonnay and entirely from Bouzy's clay and chalk soils.
​
