Issue No 6

Issue No. 6 of VINE & BUBBLE Magazine is now available! 

This issue, we take a look at some of Champagne's old vines and talk to Didier Gimonnet, from Pierre Gimonnet et Fils, who owns some of the Côte des Blancs' oldest vineyards. 

There’s no doubt that old vines can produce some superior fruit – concentrated and with considerable character. But to what advantage for champagne? Especially if the preference is for more verve than voluptuousness for the sake of its effervescence, elegance and finesse. 

As always, we are providing some of the best original and thoughtful content on champagne. Read about:
