Tasting Series
Skurnik Wines & Spirits is an importer and distributor of fine wines and spirits headquartered in the heart of New York City. They represent a high-quality, diversified portfolio of wine, spirits, sake, and cider from around the world. The company began with just a handful of relatively unknown estates in 1987, and has since grown to represent over 800 winemakers, distillers, and suppliers, most of which are family-owned-and-operated. They also have one of the most exciting portfolios of grower producer champagne houses. We are excited to feature two of their very best for our next tasting series event: Champagne Marc Hébrart and Champagne Vilmart & Cie.
Jean-Paul Hébrart took over Marc Hébrart from his father in 1997. His father had been producing estate bottled wines since 1964 and joined the Club Trésors in 1985 Jean-Paul has slowly developed the estate in the last 20 years to one of the very finest grower estates in the Marne. The basis for these outstanding wines are the privileged holdings in Aÿ, including the newly purchased plots in Le Léon, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, and Dizy in the Grande Vallée as well as Avize, Oiry and Chouilly in the Côte and recently acquired vineyards in Louvois in the Montagne.
Vilmart & Cie looks back at a long history of grape growing and winemaking. It was founded as récoltant manipulant house in 1890 by Désiré Vilmart, in the village of Rilly-la-Montagne. Today, Laurent Champs, the fifth generation of the family, oversees the domaine.
This extraordinary tasting will be lead by Skurnik Wines Midwest Sales Manager Nick Bland and our very own Michael Seward.
