September 24, 2021
Skurnik Imports has specialized in supporting “Grower” Champagne for quite some time. While most famous Champagne houses blend from multiple vineyards, purchasing fruit from dozens of farmers, these “grower” Champagnes are representations of Champagne grapes grown from a single vineyard. True Grower Champagne comes from a Vigneron, someone who owns the land, farms the land, harvests the grapes and makes the wine. Taste six unique Champagnes with Lauren Reches from Skurnik including Geoffroy, Vilmart & Cie, Glavier, Pierre Gimonnet & Fils, L. Aubry Fils, Mouzon-Leroux and Gaston Chiquet.
