Champagne and Sparkling

Made from a blend of Bacchus and Pinot Gris, The English Gent is bursting with aromas of blossom and white meadow flowers. On the palate, notes of grapefruit, orange peel and white stone fruit, make way for a juicy golden apples. Suggested pairing: For a truly British pairing, try it with a succulent Sunday roast chicken. Or equally as good, for sipping away a carefree evening

Pale gold in colour with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose reveals inviting aromas of toasted brioche, pistachio and honey, lifted by the freshness of green apple. On the palate, vibrant orchard fruits continue with crisp green apple and the gentle crunch of red apple peel. Bright citrus and creamy lemon posset bring beautiful balance, lingering in an elegant and lasting finish.

Light gold hue and a fine, delicate mousse. Aromas of lemon sherbet and honeysuckle lead into fresh pastry and vanilla characters. The palate is rounded and soft, offering generous yet elegant notes of green apple, lemon zest, orange blossom, and chamomile, with a touch of baked hazelnut. A subtle minerality accentuates the fresh, crisp acidity, leading to a long and complex finish.

Traditional method sparkling wine made from Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada grapes aged for 15 months before disgorgement. Rich, fruity, and balanced.

Pale gold in colour with very fine bubbles. Intense aromas of raspberry, red apple skin and rose petal. The textured palate is both vibrant yet refined, revealing layers of orange zest, raspberry, apricot and marzipan. Opulent fruit and complex biscuit characters persist in a long, mouth watering finish. "12% alcohol. This is from a single plot, 73% Pinot Noir and 23% Chardonnay, on greensand soils in Sussex. This is so refined, nuanced and delicate with beautiful cherry and citrus fruit with a sense of finesse. There’s nice concentration, fine acidity and a beautiful focus to the fruit with fabulous length and elegance. Finishes with finely spiced red cherry fruit, and the fine acid line on the finish just keeps going on. Still quite taut and primary, this has a bright future ahead of it". 95/100 Jamie Goode wineanorak.com

The 2018 vintage of a classic English Champagne-type sparkling wine from Dorset's Furleigh. This offers enticing notes of apples and freshly baked bread. And Kyran has requested this so he has got to sell it!!!!

Carte Blanche offers intense floral tones (honey) and notes of ripe sweet fruits (caramelised apple), and warm sugar almonds (frangipane). Dosage adds a rich, creamy texture with great length but without being heavy. The freshness of the wine supports this length bringing a well-balanced and highly persistent wine. Carte Blanche reflects the traditional style of the fine wines from Champagne of the 19th century. It is a soft and creamy champagne, releasing a pure fruit that gives it a lovely vibrant character. After a few years ageing in the cellar, it has reached perfect maturity and, thanks to the Louis Roederer art of blending, shows astonishing freshness and subtlety.

A legendary vintage champagne with wonderful finesse and precision Champagne Salon is the creation of a man who loved champagne: Aimé Salon. Fascinated by the Mesnil terroir, this daring man created the champagne of his dreams, a Blanc de Blancs that is quite simply exceptional. "The champagne of one man, Aimé Salon, of one terroir, the Côte des Blancs, of one cru, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, of one grape variety, Chardonnay, of one year, that of a great vintage." In the words of the House, we understand that the story of this champagne has all the makings of an adventure novel. And with good reason: Champagne Salon came to life in 1905, but it wasn't until 1920 that this audacious character revealed his sublime and mysterious creation to the rest of the world. Today, Maison Salon has joined the Laurent-Perrier group and now shares its ambitions and resources with Maison Delamotte, both managed by Didier Depond. Only produced in the best years, this Blanc de Blancs Champagne is as confidential as it is exceptional. Demanding and precise, the wines are kept in the cellar for an average of ten years before revealing all their grandeur. Despite a cold winter and spring, the vines did not suffer any frosts in 2013. The budburst took place at the end of April under abundant rainfall, which lasted until full flowering at the beginning of July. Despite a hot summer, sporadic thunderstorms and slow ripening of the grapes in October, hail damage was minimal. Despite the bad weather, the 2013 harvest was excellent, at 13,000 kg/ha, with the Chardonnays standing out for their balance and acidity. This champagne comes from the one-hectare plot known as "Le Jardin Salon," and nineteen other small plots in Mesnil-sur-Oger, carefully selected by Aimé Salon at the beginning of the 20th century.

Billecart-Salmon's exceptional prestige cuvée was created in 1964 as a tribute to the House’s co-founder Nicolas-François Billecart who married Elisabeth Salmon in 1818. The 17% maturation in 15 year-old traditional oak barrels underpins the generous character of this fine, elegant and rich champagne. The 2012 weather has been hallmarked by many as very challenging but has created some stunning Champagne. Relatively low yields due to various weather conditions throughout the year. The winter months brought some frosts and hail which damaged the early stages of bud burst. August and September were very warm and this helped rescue and give the grapes a stunning maturity. "The 2012 Brut Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart shows all the natural radiance of the year. There's gorgeous resonance and texture here. Apricot, spice, tangerine oil and lightly honeyed notes infuse the palate with notable depth and persistence. This rich, expansive Champage has a ton to offer. This release was disgorged nearly two years ago, which also adds to its complexity." - Tasting note by Antonio Galloni

Red Declicious apple come clothed in a berryish, fruity guise. The smooth, rounded palate also homes in on Red Delicious ripeness, layering rich fruit onto berry charm and citrus brightness. This wine is easy, generous, bold and fruity, with a dry finish. Anne Krebiehl MW 90/100

30% of the cuvee is fermented in oak, and the magnums are aged for 7 years on the lees using a lot of reserve wine in the blend, creating a rich style of Champagne. It has been referred as "the Krug of the Cote des Bar".

Plaisir Ancestral is Vincent’s petillant naturel-style wine, but with disgorgement so that the yeast is removed resulting in a clear wine. No sugar is added at all, and the result is dry, at just two grams per litre of total sugar. It’s a serious sparkling wine that works well with food thanks to its intensely dry and mineral finish. The youthful 2022 is delicate and energetic, with a very fine mousse and chalky texture. There are notes of quince, pear and custard, and this should gain breadth and complexity with age as the biscuity autolysis aromas develop further.

Philipponnat Blanc de Noirs Millesime 2019 Vintage Champagne is made from 100% Pinot Noir, from exclusively Premier & Grand Cru plots of the Champagne region Montagne de Reims and the Philipponnat vineyards in Mareuil-sur-Ay.

Indulge in the embodiment of excellence with the Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 2015 Vintage, a champagne that transcends the ordinary. Crafted in tribute to Sir Winston Churchill, whose unwavering demand for the finest has made this cuvée legendary, the 2015 vintage is a beacon of luxury and refinement. Each bottle of Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill is a harmonious blend of power and elegance, mirroring the character of the man to whom it pays homage. The 2015 vintage, with its assemblage of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the finest Grand Cru vineyards, encapsulates the strength, structure, and brilliance Churchill himself admired in this champagne house. This 2015 vintage's production involves a double settling of the must, cold fermentation under 18°C in stainless steel, and full malolactic fermentation before blending. Secondary fermentation is conducted in the bottle in deep, 33-metre underground cellars, followed by hand riddling. These meticulous steps, especially the aging in cool, damp cellars, are key to Pol Roger's renowned fine and persistent mousse.

A 100% Pinot Noir with a depth worthy of its prestigious terroir in the Côte des Bar! This wine from a single vineyard is made from vines that are managed in an environmentally-friendly way, with some of them having been converted to organic farming. This extremely fine Blanc de Noirs is a pure gourmet product: its honeyed and fruity notes, warm brioche flavours and refined finish make this wine are a must for any occasion. Pure finesse!

Described by leading wine critic Robert Parker as "the finest Champagne house virtually no one has ever heard of". The reason for this being that until the 1990s their wines were only sold directly to discerning, well-informed private customers in France and Italy. The Giraud house is one of the few houses that conduct primary fermentations in oak. The overall production is limited to 250,000 bottles a year, making the Giraud Champagne stand apart from the major producers. This brilliant wine is the flagship style of Champagne Henri Giraud with its commitment to the protection of nature. On the label, the paper oak tree relates the fragility of life but also the capacity for humans to rebuilt it. This wine educates and empowers, offering a premium champagne experience, made with sustainable and ethical practices. Tasting Note: Effervescent with minerally bitterness, this exquisite classic Champagne is distinguished by its fruitiness, characterised by vivid green apple, lemon, and grapefruit, complemented by notes of brioche and biscuit.

Showcasing the D.O.’s three classic varieties (Xarel-lo, Macabeo, Parellada), this Cava is balanced and elegant. Complex, with spiced, baked apples, yeasty bread-roll notes, very fine bubbles on the palate and excellent length on the finish. Another stunning cava from Roger Goulart.

Le Clos Saint-Hilaire is an exceptional champagne which is named after the patron saint of the village Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the home of Champagne Billecart-Salmon. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir and vinified in oak casks, it develops an outstanding purity. A full-bodied and intense texture evoking citrus fruit flesh and pears in syrup (iodine notes, mandarin pulp), as well as subtle hints of panettone, bursting with rich flavours (puffed buckwheat and liquorice wood). The wine is characterised by a mesemerizing yet expressive chram with a generosity that carries the finish towards a delicious chalky minerality. A unique tasting experience for a rare and sought-after vintage from a small-scale production of 5100 bottles. Serve at cellar temperature, this micro cuvee will pair wonderfully with a Wild Turbot and a Burmese coffeee.

50% Pinot Meunier, 25% Pinot Noir, 25% chardonnay. Very small producer, organic. Ripe apples, white peach, well balanced, round and complex. Very nice finish! Good value for money!
