Step into the world of Grower Champagne, where the farmers are the winemakers and every bottle reflects a personal connection to the land. In this masterclass, we’ll break down what it means to be a "Grower" and explore six standout champagnes from the Skurnik portfolio. Along the way, we’ll take a closer look at each producer—their philosophy, their vineyards, and what sets their wines apart. This is Champagne with a point of view, and a chance to taste the region through the people who know it best.
