LARMANDIER BERNIER Latitude Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne NV Latitude is 100% Côte des Blancs Chardonnay from vineyards on the southern side of Vertus. These vineyards comprise rich clay in the soil and are on the same latitude, hence the name, which also hints at the breadth of texture that the wines from these sites express. A generous terroir and grapes picked fully ripe, Larmandier uses mostly large format casks using wood from Stockinger in Austria. The result is a superb texture, stone-fruited depth and pure minerality with that glorious citrusy, chalky energy the area is known for. The Latitude cuvée is the perfect festive Champagne, retaining the characteristic purity of the estate.

Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame is name in honour of the famed and undoubted Champagne pioneer, widow Clicquot. Widowed at the tender age of 28, Madame Clicquot continued her late husband's work and is the sole reason why her Champagne house is held in the high esteem that it is today. The 1998 La Grande Dame is a wine of pure beauty and power. A majority blend of Pinot Noir, the vintage conditions are clearly visible in the glass with flavours of peach, apricot and touch of brioche and nuttiness. A true classic for the ages.

Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque is known throughout the world not only for their classic, complex and artisan sparkling wine, but also the magnificent artwork on each of the Belle Époque bottles. The artwork is a homage to glassmaker Emile Gallé who painted a special bottle that was found in 1902 in a nondescript cupboard gathering dust. The Belle Époque Rosé is a smooth and finely chiselled, subtle and rich wine, with myriad floral notes and a long finish, to be enjoyed as an aperitif, throughout the evening.

Fine and pure, the Terroirs Blanc de Blancs is a multi-vintage blend sourced from fruit grown in the grand cru villages of Avize, Cramant, Oiry and Oger. A significant portion of the base wines is aged in barrel imparting greater structure and subtle complexity. Following second fermentation the wine spends up to two years on lees.
