Simon Rion – Vertical Champagne Experience

🥂✨ HUGE NEWS – SIMON RION VERTICAL EXPERIENCE ✨🥂 7 vintages. 9 Champagnes. Just 10 places. This is a Champagne tasting I’ve been incredibly excited to present. ❤️🍾

When Simon Rion Vintage 2005, 2006 & 2007 arrived at Champagne by Moes, they sold quickly.

Sales have only gone one way – and now stocks are SOLD OUT. 🔥

The interest has been fantastic, and I’ve received so much positive feedback on the older vintages.

But now comes the BIG NEWS:

I’ve had the opportunity not only to open 2005, 2006 & 2007 again, but also to present 2009, 2010, 2012 & 2013 to you for the first time.

And of course, it has to be done properly.

That’s why, on Thursday 3 December, I’m inviting just 10 guests to The Vault for a very special: 🍾 SIMON RION – VERTICAL EXPERIENCE 🇫🇷 WHO IS SIMON RION?

Simon Rion is exactly the kind of Champagne producer I personally love discovering and presenting through Champagne by Moes.

Not a large international Champagne house with millions of bottles.

Quite the opposite.

Simon Rion is a small, family-owned grower-producer from Courmas in Montagne de Reims, where the family has been working with Champagne for four generations.

Simon took over the family domaine from his father Pascal in 2007, and today he works with just around 2.15 hectares of vineyards.

It’s small. Very small. ❤️

And that’s a big part of what makes it so fascinating.

Here, Champagne is about family, terroir, craftsmanship, personality and respect for the place the grapes come from.

The vineyards are around Courmas and consist mainly of Meunier and Pinot Noir, along with a very small amount of Chardonnay.

The soil is characterised by clay and chalk, and Simon works purposefully to let both the terroir and each individual vintage express themselves in the Champagnes.

No herbicides are used, the soil is worked mechanically, and the house is certified both HVE – Haute Valeur Environnementale – and Viticulture Durable en Champagne. 🌱🍇 For me, this is part of what makes Grower Champagne so fascinating: Small quantities. A family story. A distinctive terroir. A passionate winemaker. And Champagnes with an identity all their own.

And on Thursday 3 December, we’ll really delve into Simon Rion’s world.

🥂 WE’LL START THE EVENING WITH: 🍾 Simon Rion Blanc de Noirs 🍾 Simon Rion Blanc de Blancs Two Champagnes that give us the perfect introduction to the house and Simon’s style.

And then the great journey through 7 different Vintage Champagnes begins: 🍾 Vintage 2005 🍾 Vintage 2006 🍾 Vintage 2007 🍾 Vintage 2009 🍾 Vintage 2010 🍾 Vintage 2012 🍾 Vintage 2013 7 vintages from the same small producer – tasted side by side. 🔥🥂 This is exactly where a vertical tasting becomes something truly special.

We’ll discover what different harvest years do to Champagne.

How do the aromas develop?

How do acidity, structure, maturity and complexity change over the years?

And perhaps most importantly of all:

Which vintage will be YOUR favourite? ❤️

I’m personally incredibly excited to compare 2005, 2006 & 2007 with 2009, 2010, 2012 & 2013.

The three oldest vintages have already shown their quality – and are now sold out at Champagne by Moes.

Now, just 10 people will have the chance to taste them again – this time alongside four other vintages from Simon Rion.
