[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1782211005850{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”]Through this interview with Olivier Suply, you\u2019ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of champagne, long before the bubbles appear. A winemaker in Vrigny, he shares his daily life with you as the seasons unfold: the work in the vineyard, the care given to the grapes, the steps involved in the aging process, and the decisions that shape the style of his cuv\u00e9es. <\/p>\n

This lecture will give you a better understanding of the connection between the terroir, Champagne grape varieties, and winemaking choices. You\u2019ll also discover a stage that\u2019s often less well-known to the general public: the \u201cvin clair.\u201d This still wine, produced during the first fermentation, forms the basis of future champagnes. During a guided tasting, you\u2019ll explore its aromatic characteristics, structure, and central role in the blending process. <\/p>\n

Accessible and welcoming, this experience offers you the chance to interact directly with a family-run winemaker. You\u2019ll leave with a solid understanding of vineyard work, the creation of a cuv\u00e9e, and the steps leading up to the birth of champagne.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1781093388721{background-color: #FBF8ED !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781088010666{background-color: #EB533E !important;}” el_id=”chef” el_class=”chef”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ row-text-align=”center” background-position=”center-center”][vc_single_image image=”5817″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”wpbai-chef”]<\/p>\n
