Now that the snow has made its appearance, the House is preparing to experience a start to the year marked by a series of events that will delight champagne lovers. And not only!
An introductory workshop preceded by a visit to the estate nestled on the Montagne de Reims in Ludes, a gourmet dinner imagined by a talented duo for Valentine's Day and a prestigious partnership with the Académie des César, this is what awaits us in the coming weeks.
An introductory workshop to discover the champagnes of the House On January 26, we are offering an introductory champagne workshop that promises to be as instructive as it is delicious. The opportunity to discover the secrets of this divine elixir and to become familiar with the subtleties of tasting.
The guided tour of the estate's cellars will be followed by an introduction to aromas and dosage, as well as a comparative tasting of four of the House's champagnes:
- Cuvée V 2012 Brut nature
- Cuvée P181 organic Extra-brut
- Charles VII Brut
- Charles CVII Brut rosé
Each champagne will reveal its particularities and personality, offering participants a unique sensory experience. This workshop is an ideal opportunity for champagne lovers to perfect their knowledge and develop their palate.

Love is celebrated in Ludes, among the vines.
To celebrate Valentine's Day in a unique way, the House is reserving a special evening for a handful of lucky people at the Domaine de Ludes on Wednesday, February 14, 2024.
On the menu? A gourmet dinner designed by a duo of talented chefs: Laurent Fédou, cellar master of the Maison, and Serge Herscher, chef of Table Kobus in Epernay.
Each dish will be accompanied by a champagne that will enhance your tête-à-tête meal. The organic Cuvée P181 will launch the tasting at 7:30 p.m. to accompany an aperitif of salmon tartare, mango and green apple. The starter will feature scallops that will be paired with a creamy risotto and a bisque with hazelnut oil, served with our Charles VII Blanc de Blancs cuvée. The Cuvée CVII Blanc de Noirs, a generous and powerful champagne that offers great maturity while maintaining a magnificent balance, will accompany a veal rump with button mushrooms and shiitakes.
Cheese lovers can enjoy Brillat Savarin accompanied by the Cuvée V 2012. And to round off the meal in style, a Fougerolles griottine tart with pistachio cream that the Charles VII Rosé cuvée will enhance. This exceptional dinner promises an unforgettable gastronomic experience, enhanced by the balance of our champagnes.
