About the workshop


Discover the tale of two terroirs: Champagne vs Burgundy.

Same grapes. Neighboring regions. Centuries of rivalry. 

From the monks of Burgundy and their walled clos to royal feuds, trade wars and a king's physician who banned Champagne from royal table. Centuries of tension reshaped French wine forever: power, politics, religion and rebellion created two of the world's most iconic wine regions, and why today, their wins could not be more different. 

History, drama, and terroir, all in a glass!

  


Tasting details: 
90 minutes - 2 glasses of sparkling wines and 2 glasses of still reds per guest
Location: Seminar room 1, Level 4

Your host - Lucy Edwards

Having worked in the industry since 2009, Lucy is a self-confessed champagne nerd. 

When she joined the French Chamber of Commerce to help grower producers looking to import to Australia, she fell in love with champagne, not because of the glitz & glamour but because of the undeniable mix of art & science required to create the world's most prestigious wines. Over the past 16 years, Lucy has consulted to houses such as Jacquart, Pertois-Lebrun & Charpentier, and was pivotal in developing the Vranken-Pommery Monopole brands in Australia and Southeast Asia for over 5 years. She now runs a Champagne Club bringing rare and interesting cuvees to wine lovers and collectors here in Singapore.
