Guest speaker David Valauri (Wine Scholar Guild - Champagne Master) joins us for a holiday-themed class dedicated to growers Champagne.

In Champagne, the coeur de cuvée is the “heart” of the first pressing which contains the highest quality juice. Coeur de Cuvée is a champagne importing and consulting company dedicated to discovering the highest quality and most distinctive artisanal and “grower’s champagnes” and making them available across the United States.

For decades, David Valauri has admired champagne. In 2015 he began visiting the Champagne region to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the exquisite and diverse bubbles found in the region. After several trips, hours of study and a Master-level Certificate in Champagne from the Wine Scholar Guild, David established Coeur de Cuvée in 2018. Coeur de Cuvée is a champagne importing and consulting company dedicated to discovering the highest quality and most distinctive artisanal and “grower’s champagnes” and making them available across the United States.

During this class, we will sample a variety of cuvées from two Houses, Delavanne Père & Fils in Bouzy & Roger Brun in Aÿ. Each house showcases distinctive characteristics from the regions they cultivate and offer a range of selections that include exceptional cuvées for the novice and connoisseur alike while maintaining affordability.
