Champagne Warehouse

Monday At Champagne Roger Legros

(The picture above shows the House of Roger Legros in the village of Prouilly.)

Helen has been emailing Gauthier about a few things today. In her last email she decided to ask Gauthier what he’s been up to today besides answering Helen’s emails! This is what Gauthier said.

Gauthier Legros: Today’s been a day when I did a bit of everything really. On the physical side, I loaded two palettes for the gyro palette and labelled some magnum bottles.

I spent some time at my desk dealing with some sales and admin- I took some typical phone calls and sent emails to customers and suppliers. I also spent some time on the creation of a new label for some Jeroboam bottles (which are a blending of the harvests of 1995 and 1996). We tasted one of these bottles last Christmas and it was delicious! We only have 25 bottles of this blend left. But the new label design will be used for future jeroboam bottles too.

As you know I am attending the London Wine Fair in May so I have spent some time preparing for that. I need to look for a counter and curtains etc….!

So there you have it a brief glimpse into the life and skills of a small champagne grower and that was just a Monday!
