A tasting of 8 Verrier et FiIs Champagnes presented by the makers
On February 13th we will hosting Emmanuel and Laurence Verrier of Verrier et Fils. They are ‘Récoltant-Manipulant’ or makers of ‘Grower Champagne’ producing their own champagne ‘in house’ from grapes grown in their own vineyards. They produce 30,000 bottles a year across eight cuvées from their ‘Tradition’ to ‘Raymond Verrier’, their vintage champagne. We will taste all eight.
Growers champagnes often represent tremendous value for money: individual, expressive of their terroir and some are much in demand. However, their numbers are shrinking and Verrier is one of only of two left in Étoges, a tiny village of 400 people in the Val du Petit Morin about 20 km south of Épernay.
Étoges and Verrier et Fils have become a ‘last day before the Channel’ stopover for some society members and as a result, the committee have tried and been has been impressed by the quality and individuality of their champagnes. We hope you and your guests can join us for a stunning tasting celebrating our 40th anniversary.
Please register your intention to attend by paying the standard fee, as described in the attached guide. It will be very helpful to us if you could do this by February 8th.
