3. CAVES DE PASSY

If you enjoy drinking sparkling wine and are a little bit curious to know how it is produced, you’ve probably heard of the Charmat method. The Charmat method is a production technique used for sparkling wines. It was invented in 1907 by Eugene Charmat who was a French agricultural engineer. Most Prosecco producers still adhere to this technique today. Philippe, Caves de Passy’s owner, is no less than the inventor’s grandson. Wine knowledge runs in the family! He opened this cellar-shop in the 80’s and it is still going strong! Since Philippe has grown up in the wine business, he will surely help you build up your wine skills and guide you to pick the right bottle.
