A hotbed of some of the most exciting winemaking happening today in Champagne, the Aube and its viticultural area called the Côte des Bar can feel like a world away from the “classic” subregions of Champagne, both in distance, around two hours south of Reims, and in terroir, boasting Kimmeridgian soils like in Chablis. While one might be forgiven for thinking that the Aube is Chardonnay country, Pinot Noir is king here, making up more than 85% of vines planted. Historically, the Aube sent much of its production north to the houses of Reims & Epernay. While that is still important to the region, a growing collection of young winemakers is redefining the image of the Aube, creating some truly amazing wines while breaking a few rules along the way.

Join us at Tolo as we kick off La Fête du Champagne with this special dinner showcasing the wines of  five of these young iconoclasts - Pierre Brocard, Vincent Couche, Pierre Gerbais, Thomas de Marne, and Etienne Sandrin - which will pair beautifully with the balanced, soulful flavors of Chef Ron Yan’s modern Chinese cuisine.

Please note that the winemakers will not be in attendance for this dinner.
