Champagne Vincent Bliard, 'Sempiternel' NV
Sempiternel is the rarest expression of Champagne Vincent Bliard, destined for the connoisseurs of mature Champagnes, made from a collection of wines from different harvests and blends, kept for many years in their cellars. When one of these wines reaches its peak, they chose to add it to their selection, until the stock is exhausted. A wine of distinct character that will never be repeated, as the ethos has intended. The current release is from 2006 base and quite probably the most sophisticated Champagne on the market. Hurry while stock last!

The new generation, Florence and Antoine, are moving the family Domaine into a modern era. The history of their Domaine is incredible. «Papy Jean» (now 92 years old, still tending his vines EVERY day) was amongst the first 6 families in the late 1960s to convert (although “maintain” is more appropriate) his vineyards to organic farming. Their ancestors were coopers, naturally the family carry on with barrel ageing. Vincent and Marie Odile followed Jean and Helene. Deeply rooted in tradition the new generation, Florence and Antoine have taken over in 2018 with a modern approach and the same enthusiasm.
