The house of Besserat de Bellefon was founded in 1843 near Ay in Champagne, and is now based in Epernay. The hallmark of the house is the lower than normal pressure that the wine is kept at under cork. This lower than normal pressure does not reduce the effervescence, but softens it, allowing the wine to partner better with food. Aspect: Soft rose with fine clear beads Bouquet: Red berries, hawthorn, the verve of springtime Palate: Wild strawberries, refreshing, seductive Assemblage : Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier

Founded just before the French Revolution in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck, Heidsieck & Co Monopole is the original Heidsieck House and the 4th oldest Champagne house in the region. Delicate nose that opens with a scent of stewed yellow fruits (apricot, quince), enhanced by light notes of acacia and honey. Very long and fresh on the palate with notes of ripe fruit and candied lemon, embellished with slightly buttered pastry notes.

Created in homage to Louise Pommery, daughter of Madame Pommery, Cuvée Louise is a wine of exceptional and absolute purity which expresses the quintessence of the knowhow of the Maison Pommery.Cuvée Louise finds its origin within three grands crus; Avize, Cramant and Aÿ - true gems of the Champagne region.The 2006 vintage, uniquely available in half bottle size, expresses all its lightness and delicacy with subtle minerality. The harmony is perfect. Aromas of white flowers are wonderfully associated with hints of prunes and white peaches, creating a silky and fine effect. It embraces the palate with grace and elegance, the finale is long and tense.

What wonderful spicy aromatics intertwined with delicious soft red fruits with lifted white floral, citrus overlays. Wonderfully textured and fulsome on the palate, there is balanced spine of mineral acidity that finishes fresh, zesty and leaves you wanting more. Delicious!

Deliciously opulent and creamily textured yet kept in perfect balance, by vibrant, mineral acidity. A multi-layered and textured wine, this massively over delivers in every way.

If you like a Champagne of substance or - dare I say - 'verve', then look no further than Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut NV. It's a perfect example of harmony between delicacy and style.

The Taittinger Prestige Rose is a unique and complex blend. The signature Taittinger high proportion of Chardonnay (30%) brings elegance and delicacy to the blend, while a quantity of still red wine (15%) produced from the best Pinot Noirs from Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys is added to the final blend. It is this still red wine that gives the cuvee its unmistakable colour and vibrant intensity on the palate. The Prestige Rose can be described as lively, fruity, fresh and elegant.

This dazzling Meunier represents superb value in a market where rosé wines are getting increasingly pricey. Put simply, it’s a blend of Meunier vinified three ways. Some 60% of the volume is from fruit traditionally pressed off to make a white wine (over one-third of this component was reserve wines that had been aged in barrels). A second, 30% portion was made as a saignée rosé (the juice left in contact with the skins for a short period). The final 10% of the blend is from a red wine. The fruit producing the white wine is from vines with an average age of 25 years, and the vines for the red and rosé wines are more than 40 years old. The wines fermented and aged in various vessels (vats, foudre and old demi-muid barrels) before being transferred to bottle for secondary fermentation. This release is a blend of 2022 (60%) and 2021 and was disgorged with just 2.5 g/L dosage. It’s a wonderfully pretty rosé with the juiciness of the ripe Meunier offset by mouthwatering acidity and the salty chalk expression that typifies the best wines of the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay.
