So, March is upon us. It is the beginning of a fresh season (really, it is, trust us) and a fresh start – it is spring! With spring comes the birth of new life, new blossoms and more warmth behind that golden orb in the sky.
For us at Real Champagne, it is a fresh start on our year of sourcing exceptional champagnes from small, independent producers. It beckons the first of our Real Champagne Club launches. For those unfamiliar with our concept, every three months we introduce three new champagnes, ripe for the season and launch them to our Club members at preview tastings. This is their official launch and our guests are always the first to sample these new champagnes before they go public. Our selection usually incorporates champagnes that have never previously been available in the UK, adding to the excitement of trying something brand new and with incredible character. Our aim: to share our experiences sourcing these champagnes with our loyal followers and share the stories behind these great wines and their producers – after all, heritage is part of the character of most things and should never be ignored.
After weeks of planning, our first preview tasting of 2014 is fast approaching on Friday 7th March. We have partnered with the wonderful and inspirational Adam Street Private Members’ Club in London to host all of our Club tastings this year. It seemed fitting to partner with a venue who at their very core, support the entrepreneurial spirit and the desire to carve new paths – just like us. In less than a week, our friends will come together, with their friends and loved ones, in anticipation of the new champagnes spring brings to the table.
Our guests are planning their Friday nights, with hotels and pre-, post-tasting dinners and even delaying planned trips away so as to ensure they don’t miss any of the action. This is more than just a champagne tasting…this is an unmissable event in their diaries.
And so the pressure is on for us to not disappoint our expectant crowd. Next week we will share some of the best moments of our inaugural tasting of 2014…and then we’ll begin all over again to find those hidden gems for the summer.
Over the coming weeks, we will introduce our newest additions to you and share the delights that led us to making our choices. This is what we feel sets us apart from all the other wine merchants. Specialising just in champagne, it allows us to really explore, dig deep and get to the heart of this region and some of the magic it can create.
Happy spring time all!
