Champagne Virginie T. Winemaker Dinner | Wednesday 5 November | 6.30 – 10pm | Spectator Boardroom £165

Virginie Taittinger has champagne in her blood and not just that of Taittinger: her family also owned Piper-Heidsieck for more than a century. Today Virginie runs her own remarkable boutique champagne house with her son, Ferdinand Taittinger-Pougatch, Chef de Cave, who will guide us as we enjoy Virginie T Brut NV, Virginie T Extra Brut NV, 2009 Virginie T Extra Dry ‘Macaron’ and the stunning 2015 Virginie T Blanc de Noirs.

Hosted by Spectator drinks editor Jonathan Ray, our events are relaxed and informal (there is nothing so stuffy as a dress code) giving guests the chance to enjoy fine drinks and conversation with fellow Spectator readers. Some come in couples, but many come on their own and firm friendships have been forged here over the Cru Classé claret. Do join us!
