Grand Siècle is a Prestige Cuvée that is a unique concept, different from the others. It is the only Cuvée de Prestige in Champagne based on the blend and not on the vintage. Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle No. 24 Champagne is a blend of 55% Chardonnay from Le Mesnil‑sur‑Oger, Oger, Cramant, Avize, Chouilly and 45% Pinot Noir from Ambonnay, Bouzy, Tours‑sur‑Marne, Mailly, Verzy, Verzenay. The blend is created from 2007, 2006 and 2004 vintages. The resulting champagne is a vibrant, bright yellow colour with lively sparkles and fine bubbles. Aromas of fresh citrus fruits followed but subtle hints of acacia honey and butter across the nose. A persistent finish displaying Grand Siècle’s perfect balance of depth and tension.

Krug Grand Cuvee is unique in the world of premium champagne in so much as rather than being a vintage champagne it is re-created every year, and is a blend of over 120 individual wines from more than 10 different years. The fullness or flavours and aromas achieved by this careful art of blending would be impossible to express with the wines of a single year. Recognised as the first and last word in luxury, Krug is rightfully recognised as the King of Champagnes. Fun fact: Each bottle of Krug has a unique ID which allows the drinker to learn the Winemaking team's impressions of the year, a detailed story of the bottle, food pairing suggestions, recommendations for ideal storage and service, as well as Krug Music Pairing suggestions to enhance every Krug Lover’s tasting. Luxurious indeed.

The Mumm RSRV Lalou 2006 cuvee is a legendary champagne, blended from 100% Grand Cru wines. It is sourced exclusively from the Maison Mumm vineyards, its historic and emblematic plots. Of the 12 specific plots in the Maison Mumm vineyard, equally distributed between Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, seven were selected for the unique blend of RSRV Lalou 2006 (Les Bionnes, Les Crupots, Les Briquettes, Les Perthes, Hannepés, Les Rochers, Les Houles). These seven Grand Cru wines were previously pressed separately, then vinified one by one. In line with Maison Mumm’s uncompromising standards, a 10-year aging period and a dosage of 6 grams per liter fully reveal their complex and elegant aromas. Pure gold in colour the nose is an elegant mineral departure, opening out into sweet pastry notes. Aromas of candied lemon and pear marmalade, complemented by gourmet notes of vanilla, with hints of toast and brioche. The palate has a rounded, powerful attack. As the wine develops, it demonstrates great length on the palate, combining fullness and freshness.

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne is the finest expression of the world famous wine from one of the greatest Champagne Houses. First produced in 1952, Comtes is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes from 6 Grand Cru sites in the Cité de Blancs. Showing a pristine pale yellow colour with very light, abundant bubbles which rise uniformly to form a fine mousse. The evocative bouquet opens with notes of pears and fresh cute white flowers. Left in the glass for a time, the nose develops a richness and density of pure character. Once on the palate, Comtes is lively, direct and precise with flavours of candied lemon zest and fresh pineapple. The balance is something to behold. This Champagne's marriage of finesse and aromatic intensity is a promise of further potential, but already offers very pleasurable drinking.

Bollinger La Grand Année is truly one of the greats of Champagne, a traditionalist house making muscular wine with body, length, depth, and every other dimension. Sourcing nothing other than quality fruit, it consists of 76% Grand Crus and 24% Premiers of Crus with a minimum aging of 5 years. Bollinger La Grande Année is a quite exemplary gift.
