The three-day 100% Champagne Asia 2024 organized by Sparklingplus took place lately at W Hotel Shanghai. The champagne aficionados were captivated by the presence of EMW's partners, Champagne Drappier and Champagne Edouard Duval, in the champagne dinner, masterclass, and the grand tasting. In 2024, EMW announced a new champagne strategy and collaborated with our long-time partner, Sparklingplus, to begin a fresh chapter in the market and to introduce top-notch champagne houses to Chinese wine enthusiasts. EMW was thrilled to take part in 100% CHAMPAGNE, putting up all effort to present our fine champagnes.
Champagne Drappier presented three bottles of Reserve de L'Oenotheque Brut from the 2002, 2003, and 2004 vintages at the Zachys Auction of the Grand Champagne Dinner on May 24. The case was autographed by Charline, Hugo, and Antoine Drappier, the eighth generation of the Drappier family.
These three Reserve de L'Oenotheque Brut bottles, which emphasized Champagne Drappier's winemaking prowess and family heritage, eventually fetched a hefty RMB 16,000 in price.
Charline Drappier, the eighth generation of the Drappier family, received an invitation to the La Transmission - Femmes en Champagne Master Class on May 25. A group of women owners and leaders in Champagne, La Transmission Femme en Champagne was established in 2016 with the goal of demonstrating the dedication of women, sharing their love of fine wines and preserving the prosperity of Champagne.
