Hure Frere Champagne Tasting & Dinner
Hure Frere Champagne Tasting & Dinner
Join us on 7th October from 7pm as we welcome the team from Huré Frères to Queens Bistro for an evening of Champagne perfectly paired with dishes chosen by our head chef Jason.
Enjoy a champagne cocktail on arrival, followed by 4 courses each paired with a Champagne to compliment the dish.
The evening will be led by Francois, the winemaker and co-owner of Huré Frères, who will guide you through the menu, whilst educating you on all things Champagne.
The Huré Family owns 10ha divided among the villages of Ludes, Villedomange, Brouillet, Serzy, Prin and Vavray, and also buy in some Chardonnay from a further 1.5ha in Rilly-la Montagne and Villers-Marmery. Brothers François and Pierre work under the guidance of their father Raoul in this close-knit family business. They began to eliminate the use of herbicides in 2006 and started adopting biodynamic methods. Vineyard work has been fine tuned to cater to the needs of each individual parcel, something François learned while working in Burgundy. In the cellar they also work to bring the best out of each plot, using a mix of steel tanks, large oak foudres and small oak barrels. Fermentation is conducted using natural yeast and wines are kept on lees for long periods of time. This is still an under-the-radar domaine, but it might not stay that way for long as these complex, gastronomic wines are going from strength to strength each year.
