🥂 CHAMPAGNE INSIGHT 🥂 Champagne growers, also known as "Récoltant-Manipulant" (RM) in French, are wine producers in the #Champagne region of France who grow their own grapes and produce Champagne from those grapes. The tradition of Champagne growers dates back centuries to the early development of Champagne production in the region. While the larger Champagne houses, known as "Maisons," have historically dominated the market, the importance and influence of Champagne growers have grown significantly in recent decades. Today, many Champagne enthusiasts seek out the artisanal and terroir-driven expressions offered by these smaller-scale producers 🥂 🍾 💫 Have you already tried any of these beauties? 😍 #BespokeWineCollection

What is Millésime? Millésime refers to champagne from a specific harvest year. When the harvest year is exceptional, unique, or special, the cuvée is made exclusively from grapes harvested that year. The label must indicate the year. Each Millésime has a different character and unique flavor qualities. In most cases, it will be brut, but there are cases where sweet versions of champagne are made from a good harvest. The aging time for such champagne usually lasts at least 3 years, but it can be longer depending on the producer and style. Champagne from the Victoire de la Dignité —Victory of Dignity collection is a Millésime from the 2015 harvest aged for over 6 years. Order it for yourself or as a gift https://lnkd.in/d2GJi76J

This is Nemea Grande Reserve of 100%Agiorgitiko grapes - by the iconic Semèli Estate; a privately owned single vineyard at 580 meters “vin de garde” produced at an extremely limited number of bottles, exclusively by the approval of the Estate’s winemakers team and when the vintage has been rated as exceptional; the wine matures for 18 months in French oak casks and at least 30 months in the bottles before its release; The inevitable question that arises though is to either keeping it according to the “instructions” for later, or to savor it at once?
