Ruinart Masterclass with Chef de Caves Frédéric Panaïotis – Monday 20th February

On Monday 20th February, we will be thrilled to welcome Frédéric Panaïotis, the chef de caves of Ruinart, to the Club.

Ruinart stands as not only one of Champagne’s most sophisticated grandes marques, but also the region’s oldest established House, with 1729 marking its year of birth. Frédéric, whose hand has been on the Ruinart tiller since 2007, oversees its entire portfolio which stretches from the non-vintage Blanc de Blancs through to the majestic Dom Ruinart.

Centred around a theme of ‘uncorked’, Frédéric – who is regarded as one of Champagne’s most talented winemakers – will be shining a light on the indispensable role that cork plays in Champagne production, most notably the ageing process.

For the 2010 vintage of Dom Ruinart, Frédéric took the remarkable step of moving away from the industry norm of ageing Champagne under a crown seal to cork ageing, and this very special evening gives our Members the opportunity to taste the startling results, with both Dom Ruinart 2009 and 2010 being on the tasting menu.

We look forward to you joining us for a masterclass which should be gold-plated into the diary of our Champagne-loving Members.

The wines we will be tasting:
R de Ruinart Brut (on arrival)
Blanc de Blancs Brut
2010 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Brut
2009 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Brut
