A stunning half bottle Champagne from France. A nose containing confectionery notes (brioche, cocoa beans, vanilla) with strong hints of pink grapefruit. Superb freshness on the palate, delicious and structured with notes of toasted oak.

A crisp, lively wine with aromas of dried apricots and Bergamot. A fresh salivating finish.

A fresh citrus driven Champagne with layers of summer fruits. A popular choice when you want the real deal to celebrate weddings, parties, anything. Excellent value for a fine bottle of bubbles.

Lanson Black Label continues to stand out in the non vintage Champagne crowd with its quality consistency year after year. Lanson, with its pedigree and history that rivals any Champagne house, is easily one of the best value non vintage Champagne's, with its fine and elegant palate that continues right across the tongue. A soft and pure texture follows showcasing the delicate acid structure of one of the true Champagne bargains.

The wine comes from the purest grape juice and it alone allows Laurent-Perrier to craft 'La Cuvée', a champagne of great finesse and a beautiful freshness obtained after a long ageing process in our cellars. Laurent-Perriers style and personality are defined by its very high proportion of Chardonnay. Purity, freshness and elegance - essential characteristics, expressed in this champagne - are a good introduction to the spirit of the House.

"Fresh, clean, vibrant iced pastry aroma, lovely and chard-ish. Similarly clean and fresh in the mouth, with evident dosage, but also a clean finish, soft and equable. A very easy drinking wine and well turned-out." 92 points Huon Hooke

Brilliant colour with golden reflections. Fine bubbles. Fruity, clean and elegant nose. Palate dominated by white-fleshed fruits supported by a chalky freshness. A fresh and fruit driven non-vintage Champagne. The Charpentier Tradition Champagnes are the very expression of the terroir of the Marne Valley, rich in Pinot Meunier grape varieties, enhanced by the hand of the winegrower, Jean-Marc Charpentier. Each cuvée is fair and balanced, harmoniously combining fruit freshness and finesse, for a simple and festive pleasure.

This silky, flowery, and fruity Champagne, which is dominated by Meunier from the Marne Valley, is delectable. It has creamy apple flavours and hints of apricot, and it is fresh yet rich.

The thrilling energy of this splendid season charges it with a vibrancy and definition that places this blend on a plateau elevated high above even the lofty heights that this cuvee has attained under the new Charles Heidsieck. In searching for any other entry non-vintage cuvee to which to compare it, I can fathom none short of the mesospheric heights of Krug itself. In sheer age (current Krug Grande Cuvee is only one year older) and depth of reserves, this Charles Heidsieck splendidly upholds its elevated position among Champagne's richer NVs... In sheer, breathtaking calibre for the price, this is the greatest Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve I can remember. It deserves to be the house champagne we all have chilled perpetually at the ready this year. Rating: 96/100.

This luscious Champagne has a crisp structure and is loaded with red grapes. It is well-balanced, smooth, and generously fruity, and it is ready to drink. This blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay is rose petal pink in colour, with persistent mousse and a chain of fine bubbles. On the nose it is fresh and generous with intensely complex aromas of red fruit, wild cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry. On the palate there are delicate red berries and structure from the Pinot Noir while the Chardonnay bring freshness and balance.

Champagne Charles Orban is a another fantastic grower/producer Champagne to offer simply amazing value-for-money for authentic Champagne. From a hands-on producer who have been tending their vineyards for decades, Charles Orban Blanc de Blanc is made from 100% estate grown Chardonnay that has a discrete nose of butter and nuttiness rounded by a palate with hints of brioche. A complex, mouth-filling boutique Champagne perfect as an aperitif or alongside many heartier meals.
