Champagne and Sparkling

Slight copper hue, spicy, ripe fruit, crème brulée, full-flavoured but delicate & charming. Fine persistent mousse. Totally enjoyable and quite typical of the black-grape dominated Montagne de Reims style.

Classically made Champagne with grapes sourced from Premier Cru vineyards in the Marne Valley, a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Côtes des Blanc. This wine spends 3 years ageing prior to disgorgement. Top quality Premier Cru Champagne with full flavoured intense developed citrus and floral aromas.

Family firm since 1670 in Premier Cru village of Champillon just north of Epernay. 100% black grapes. Delicate and fresh, nutty, lively mousse. Perfect House Champagne.

Jamie Goode: "This is a rising champagne star, with a toasty aroma, herby flavours and a citrus kick.".

A delicious zero dosage wine from Ayala, showcasing quality and finesse. (Sugar can hide a multitude of sins, but you shall find neither in your Brut Nature.) Those who find it too austere should pair it with shellfish (oysters especially) or sushi.

No.7 is the second release from the "Collection Ayala" : unique champagnes produced in small quantities and only released when they reach their peak. The cuvée is a blend of 7 outstanding Grand Crus from the Cotes de Blancs and Montagne de Reims all from the 2007 vintage. Two thirds Chardonnay (from Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Le-Mesnil-Sur-Oger, and Oger) and one third Pinot Noir (from Ay, and Verzy), the wine is aged under cork, as is Ayala's signature, for 11 years and finished with a mere 6g/l dosage. Lively, charismatic, perfect drinking now.

Properly serious food wine, a Michelin-star classic! Parker 92 Aromas of almond paste, green orchard fruit, citrus oil and pastry cream introduce the latest example of Billecart's NV Brut Sous Bois, a bottling that's based on the 2009 vintage. The oak influence is much less pronounced than was the case with some of the early renditions of this cuvée, and it's really going from strength to strength, revealing a medium to full-bodied palate that's broad-shoulder and structured, with lively underpinning acids. Jancis 17/20 This new cuvee is all vinified in oak but hasn't a hint of obvious oak on the nose. Lovely quality of fizz. Brooding and intense. There is marked density here and excellent balance and persistence. As usual, we are not told on the back label how old this blend may be, just that it is 'respectfully composed' of the three Champagne varieties. But it's impressive wine and I suspect it will not be cheap. Recommended. Edge of green on the nose here. Steady bead. Really quite rich and intense. Quite a meaty nose – but then food smells are coming in from the 67 Pall Mall kitchen! Mathieu Billecart suggests Tete des Moines or Comté as a food match or mushroom risotto ‘but the mushrooms have to be in season’. Lots of impact.

A unique cuvée crafted especially to celebrate 40 years of collaboration between Champagne Bollinger and 007, and the much anticipated release of Bond 25. 100% Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru village of Ay from the 2011 vintage. Rich notes of stewed fruits are expressed with a beautiful round texture, elevated by a finish of mineral notes evocative of flint.

La Grande Année is the embodiment of the carefully preserved traditional expertise of the Bollinger Champagne House. The wine is therefore exclusively vinified in small aged oak barrels. Champagne Bollinger has never abandoned this traditional craft method, which helps develop aromas of great finesse. After a prolonged ageing on its lees, even today every bottle of La Grande Année is riddled and disgorged by hand. To the eye: The delicate colour and golden hues are a sign of the wine’s maturity and reflective of Bollinger’s wine-making methods. To the nose: full and expressive. Apricot, almond and hazelnut, followed by notes of honey and cereals intertwining in a symphony of aromas. On the palate: exceptional texture and structure. Dense, silky with a long finish. Fresh and full with a delicious refined finish.

The first new permanent cuvée to be released from Bollinger since 2008! An exciting wine, in their own words this is 'Bollinger's unique vision of Pinot Noir'. The wine is 100% Pinot Noir, mostly from the Grand Cru village of Verzenay, and the base wine is 2015 vintage, with reserve wine in it dating back to 2009 - hence VZ15. Generous fruit is combined with mouth-watering vivacity and releases peach and apricot flavours in the mouth, enhanced with hazelnut and acacia blossom notes. It finishes with a wonderful lively aromatic note reminiscent of yuzu.

Muscular, blond, featured in 007 films. Just like Daniel Craig.

60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier. Full bodied and powerful. Toasty, nutty and biscuity with light citrus notes and complex creamy mouthfeel. Excellent with smoked fish dishes.

A Pinot-dominated special edition from our old friends Autreau, a family firm since 1670 in Premier Cru village of Champillon just north of Epernay

Deutz Brut Vintage is created in only the best years when a vintage is declared. The wines are blended from the finest crus and age at least three years on the lees, one year more than required, in order to develop a rich bouquet and flavour. 2012 is a vintage to look out for. The best in Champagne since 2008.

The house style at Deutz inclines towards the more elegant end of the spectrum as opposed to the rich and robust. Peach, apricot and lemon zest on the nose; biscuits and honey on the palate. A wine with great balance and poise.

Pinot Noir dominant prestige cuvée from Champagne Deutz. Intensly rich. A dream with mushrooms.

A low dosage version of the ever impressive Deutz Brut Classic. Crisp, refreshing, hugely moreish. This is the same blend as the Brut Classic, but spends an extra year in cellars since lower dosage wines are more austere and require more time to be ready to drink.

Exceptional single vineyard Champagne from vines just next to the Deutz winery in Ay. All Pinot Noir, this is Deutz heart and soul in a bottle. Fine, spicy, harmonious.

This Brut Rosé is made almost exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes from the Montagne de Reims region, and from Premiers Crus and Grands Crus. Just 10% of Chardonnay from the Cotes des Blancs rounds out the blend. Seriously fruity.
