The Finest Bubble Tasting: Bottle vs Magnum - 28/09/2023
Thursday 28th September 2023 | 18:45-20:30
Presenter: Nick Baker
Location: The Finest Bubble HQ, 11 Shillingford Street, Islington, N1 2DP
Places are limited to 10 people
18:45 Arrival for aperitif
19:00 Sit down to begin tasting
20:30 Finish tasting
Does Champagne aged in a bottle taste different to Champagne aged in a magnum? And if so, why? If you want the answers to these questions, grab yourself a ticket to this tasting where Nick will be showing how well magnums – in comparison to bottles – retain all their freshness, lightness and delicacy after time in the glass. Something happens to Champagne aged in magnum; their evolution slows, factors come into play that we can't always explain and it's like a little magic is sprinkled: what was a superbly rich Champagne in bottle, seems even more rich and complex in magnum - they are differently amazing. Eight champagnes will be tasted in total, across various styles. The experience will be an informal sit-down tutored tasting, taking place at The Finest Bubble HQ in Islington.
Guests will be able to taste, ask questions and expand their knowledge of champagne and hopefully broaden their list of favourites. The tasting will be presented by The Finest Bubble's Nick Baker.
