Renowned writer and critic Peter Liem conducted an advanced class on the determinative influence of terroir on champagne in Los Angeles on October 4. 2016. The seminar included an in-depth and critical tasting from a well-curated selection of champagnes, ranging from celebrated grandes marques like to small, independent estates. Liem presented and discussed his thesis on the critical role played by vineyard terroir in determining the essential elements of champagne. The range of selected wines provided the context as well as the illustration for the issues covered in the seminar.
