Join Flûte's experts every month to learn about champagne and sparkling wine by tasting a selection of wines side-by-side. The tastings are conducted classroom style, with detailed information presented on each wine and time for questions. We keep the class sizes small to give participants the best possible experience, so reserve early.

"Blanc de blancs" means "white from whites" and is the name for champagnes made only of Chardonnay, one of the three grapes allowed in champagne production. Chardonnay plays a starring role in some of the most sophisticated and luxurious champagnes produced, so it is an important grape to know as you expand your knowledge of champagne. This tasting is a must for fans of Chardonnay wines who want to learn more about what this versatile grape can do. It's also ideal for those of you who think "dry, buttery, mineral-tinged with notes of brioche" is the description of a champagne you could love. For this tasting, we have paired each wine with a Parmesan cheese, which we find to be an ideal match for Blanc de Blancs champagnes.
