RM Champagne Salon

Opening August 2, 2012


RM, simply put, is Grower Champagne. The designation RM is derived from the French wine Appellation d'Origine Controlee (AOC) system's classification of Champagne Houses; Recoltants Manipulants (RM), signifies an artisanal farmer who bottles his own wine. Celebrating this passion and care, the salon will pay homage to these growers that rely solely on fruit from their own vineyards with inherently distinct terroir. Bringing a balance of knowledge and passion that will be an enriching testament to Chicago's forward-thinking wine community, Wagner will tailor an obsessively curated portfolio, which will feature a large selection of estate-grown wines from these vignerons who are intensively involved from bud-break to bottling.
