Knight School December 8th

Description of Event:

We're ecstatic to welcome Certified Sommelier, Nisha Aher back to Knightsbridge to re-launch Knight School. If you've shopped with us long enough you're probably lucky enough to have met Nisha. For those who haven't, we can't wait for you to get the chance to meet and learn from her at "Knight School."

Nisha Aher brings a diverse background in fine wine, hospitality, retail, and the auction and secondary markets. Her experience includes advising private collectors, managing and valuing significant wine collections, auction representation, wine education, and the development of private and corporate wine experiences. Recently, Nisha launched her own website Nishaaher.com where you can engage with her for wine related events, cellar management and sommelier services.

What is Knight School?

Knight School is a monthly (roughly) series of wine tastings that lean towards education with an intimate, fun, and unintimidating style. The topics and wines will vary from rising up and coming producers to the more familiar classics.

For our latest installment we will feature the 2023 vintage of Domaine de la Pousse d'Or. We will not only explore different terroirs but we'll also explain and experience Burgundy's hierarchy with three wines highlighting the village level, 1er Cru site, and Grand Cru site. We hope to identify the signature of the 2023 vintage but also to differentiate between the three locations and the quality hierarchy.

2023 DOMAINE DE LA POUSSE D'OR

Volnay | Burgundy, France

A distinguished estate, Domaine de la Pousse d'Or has a remarkable history and some of the region's most celebrated terroirs. Its holdings include six Grand Cru vineyards and three monopoles, including the historic Clos de la Bousse d'Or, once owned by the King of France.

Purchased by Patrick Landanger in 1997, the estate is now led by his son, Benoît. With organic farming at its foundation and biodynamic practices since 2014, Pousse d'Or combines a tradition with modern innovative approach to winemaking.
