LIMITED CHAMPAGNE MASTER CLASS AND DINNER – TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 2015 – 15 ATTENDEES ONLY

Following on from the highly successful Champagne Masterclass in July we are holding another Masterclass for lovers of Champagne on 1st September.  This time we will feature the majestic wines of Champagne Jacques Selosse.

Vigneron Anselme Selosse was singularly responsible for showing that a small producer champagne could “eat at the same table” as the Big House luxury cuvees and acted as an inspiration and advisor to many of the small producers now highly acclaimed in Champagne.

The Selosse wines are some of the most thought provoking wines being made. Whilst there is no questioning the quality of the wines the style  can challenge some peoples’ paradigm of what champagne is.

Limited to only 15 attendees, you will get to taste the rare wines of the Small Producer Guru, Anselme Selosse.  Yvonne Wallis and Ian Westcott have designed the menu and wine list to show case the full range of Champagne Jacques Selosse including some very rare cuvees.

We are showcasing some of the greatest and most sought after champagnes, so this is not a cheap function, but it will be gorgeous. At $520 a head, (many of the bottles being presented are offered retail in Australia at well over $1,000 / bottle – without a great meal ) you will see:

  • The complete range of wines ( 12 wines) produced by Champagne Jacques Selosse, the most revered small producer in Champagne.
  •  All six of the recently introduced single terroir wines including the two cuvees only available in a pack of which only two were imported into Australia. These will be served with delicious complimentary dishes designed by Ashly Hicks.
  • Selosse Rosé matched with a lovely wallaby tartare course.
  • As a momentary distraction from the champagnes a pair of gorgeous Grand Crus – 2002 Chambertin Clos de Beze from Armand Rousseau and Gerard Raphet served with a delicious goose dish .
  • See the full exciting menu and wine list attached ( please advise any dietary issues)

Want to come along?   15 places won’t last too long.   $525 a head.  7:00 PM for 7:30 PM at Circa (Private Room) – 2 Acland St, St Kilda.
