The regional claim to fame for 'les bulles' in France is, of course, le Champagne. However, the hidden sparkling gems produced outside of this prized terroir shouldn't be underestimated!

Please join Kristin and Baptiste of Small Lot MN to taste, discover and learn about these gems, as well as to dig deeper into the distinct regions within le Champagne. We will taste wines from 4 different families, each producing distinct bottlings from their respective regions of Loire Valley, Burgundy, Côte de Sézanne and Bouzy.
