    About the event

    A comparison-led masterclass

    How Wine Ages – tasting the same wines a decade apart is a seated educational masterclass and wine comparison tasting in London. The event is presented in partnership with the Libération Tardive Foundation and organised by 67 Pall Mall, which is identified as a private members’ club in London. Its format is built around comparing wines rather than presenting a general wine tasting programme.

    What is being compared

    The tasting features six pairs of wines. Each pair compares vintages a decade or so apart, using that side-by-side structure to explore how fine wines age and how to identify the optimum drinking window. Champagne de Venoge is one of the named producers associated with the event.

    The named participants are Dominic Buckwell, co-founder and club member of the Libération Tardive Foundation; Richard Bampfield MW, listed as a presenter and Master of Wine; and Demetri Walters MW, also listed as a presenter and Master of Wine. Those named roles match the educational masterclass format of the session.

    The event takes place on Wednesday, 7th October. It begins with a welcome glass at 18:30, followed by the masterclass at 19:00. Pricing is tiered from £125.00 to £140.00.
