D'Harbonville Syndicate
After naming our first ‘Family & Friends’ syndicate Gardet… we decided to continue naming our syndicates after our favourite Champagnes. D’Harbonville is a Prestige Cuvée from the boutique Champagne House of Ployez Jacquemart. Circa 18-years old on release it is aged in bottle using the centuries old cellar technique of ‘Sur Pointe’. A beautifully elegant and complex Champagne, resembling the 4 magnificent horses we chose for this wonderful syndication. Likewise, we will celebrate the big wins in this syndicate group by popping the cork on the beautiful D’Harbonville vintage Champagne.
