After having spent 30 years as one of the few women leading a Champagne estate, I now share my expertise with you, those who, beyond just a tasting, are curious to experience Champagne in a truly unique way.
On the island of Ré, in Saint Martin, I open the doors of my home to offer you an exceptional experience. In this calm and peaceful setting, perfect for enjoying a tasting, you will be introduced to a unique discovery of Champagne through an original multisensory approach. Whether you're a beginner, enthusiast, or expert, I welcome you to share a special moment together. To better meet your expectations, I invite you to choose the theme for your workshop:
The Influence of Glassware on Champagne Tasting:
This workshop takes place in two parts:
First, you will taste the same Champagne in five very different glasses, varying in shape and material (blown glass and crystal). You will experience how much the glass influences the tasting perception.
After this experience, you will select the glass that brought you the most enjoyment.
In the second part, you will taste four cuvées from different Champagne regions in the chosen glass. This will give you a sense of Champagne's remarkable diversity.
The tasting is accompanied by fine food, selected based on your tastes.
Price: 600 € for 1 to 3 people + 100 € per additional person
Duration: 3 hours
Champagne and Cheese Pairing:
This workshop will reveal how beautifully Champagne pairs with cheese. You will appreciate surprising yet perfect pairings.
You will taste four Champagnes served with eight cheeses. The selected cuvées come from various Champagne regions, showcasing the richness and diversity of Champagne.
The cheeses, both classic and more original, are chosen to match the personalities of the Champagnes tasted.
To fully enjoy this tasting, you will select your preferred glass from a choice of five.
Price: 700 € for 1 to 3 people + 150 € per additional person
Duration: 2.5 to 3 hours
The Concept of "Long Time" in Champagne and in the Cuvées Tasted:
The concept of "long time" is intrinsic to Champagne, from the vine to its creation. To illustrate this theme, you will taste four Champagnes, each embodying "long time," in the glass you have chosen.
You will experience the importance of time by tasting a vintage Champagne, another from old vines, or one made from ancient grape varieties.
Fine foods, chosen according to your preferences, are included with this tasting.
Price: 950 € for 1 to 3 people + 200 € per additional person
Duration: 3 hours
Rare Champagnes:
During this exceptional workshop, you will taste five Champagnes with very limited production.
You will choose the glass that suits you best and then travel through different Champagne regions, tasting five Grand Champagne Wines, including a cuvée from a "clos" and another from ungrafted vines. There are many more surprises to discover throughout this workshop.
You will savor these wines as well as their original stories.
Fine foods, chosen according to your preferences, will be paired with these Champagnes.
Price: 1,550 € for 1 to 4 people + 300 € per additional person
Duration: 3.5 hours
To provide more personal attention, these workshops are limited to 2 to 12 people.
A few words about myself:
Born in Reims, I started my career at L'Oréal. At the age of 28, I seized the opportunity to take over the family estate, Champagne AR Lenoble. As a woman, young and without any viticultural or oenological experience, I trained in an entirely empirical way. The lack of academic knowledge turned out to be a tremendous asset, allowing me to explore every avenue in an avant-garde approach. This is how I developed my own tasting method based on a multisensory approach. I was one of the first to create a parcel cuvée and offer non-dosage Champagnes. Finally, I left my mark by generalizing the aging of reserve wines in magnums, which earned me recognition from my peers and the press.
With no possibility of passing on the estate within my family, I sold it in 2023 to another family that continues to uphold the values of quality and authenticity that have always inspired me.
Now, I am passionate about sharing my tasting method and my experience with anyone curious to discover Champagne in a different way.
