Winemaker Event: Sébastien Girost
February 9, 2023 @ 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Meet grower champagne producer, Sébastien Girost and taste champagne vinified with character from the terroir of Champagne’s Cogny.
While only a short drive from the southern tip of the Cotes de Blancs, the village of Congy feels a world apart from the rest of Champagne. Removed from the glitz and glamour of the wider area, this is an unassuming, tightknit community.
A most humble man, Sébastien Girost is, perhaps, a reflection of his hometown Congy’s own modesty and grit – since 2002, he has estate bottled a portion of the wines of his family’s small holdings (just under 4 hectares) under his eponymous label. Like most of the small handful of growers in his village (save for his next-door neighbor and insider favorite Ulysse Collin), his wines remain unknown outside of France.
When not in the vines or his cellar, you can find Sébastien, ever the lover of American automobiles, tuning-up his grandfather’s 1940’s Dodge pick-up that still sees duty during the harvest or cruising through Congy in his 1966 Chevy Impala.
This is the perfect opportunity to meet Sébastien and stock up in time for Valentine’s day!
Featured Champagne:
NV Champagne Sébastien Girost Brut Réserve
2015 Champagne Sébastien Girost ” Cuvée Dure Peine” Pinot Meunier
2014 Champagne Sébastien Girost Brut Millésime
NV Champagne Sébastien Girost Rosé de Saignée
