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

Joseph Perrier is a small house in terms of Grand Marque champagnes - only 1 million bottles produced a year, and still use some of the traditional champagne making techniques. Their emphasis is on quality and it shows. Rich fruity style.

Just very slightly off dry. A style much loved in France as aperitif but sadly under-rated in Britain. Or try it with fishy starters.

The top wine from JP and well rated by experts and public alike. Looks AMAZING in a beautiful box with lid and special drawer containing 2 flutes

This champagne has a special place in the history of the House. It is from a family plot of Pinot Noir in Cumières that this precious red wine comes, giving our blend an unique personality. First you will find red fruits, with wild violet and liqourice notes to follow. Ripe yet racy, with beautiful length. Fine and full on the palate, with a touch of mint on the finish.

The top wine from JP and well rated by experts and public alike. Looks AMAZING. 94/100 Roger Voss "a fine perfumed blend with a great balance between the ripe fruitiness, the balanced dosage and a crisp edge of pink-grapefruit flavors. This impressive vintage with its hints of toasty maturity is ready to drink. "

I have yet to experience a bottle of Louis Roederer Brut Premier that did not taste deliciously superior and ready to drink.' Jancis Robinson

The vineyards of Cumieres are famous for their Pinot Noir, which is what makes this Rosé so tasty.

A very special cuvee made just from the best Chardonnay grapes from the excellent 2017 vintage. Fine mousse with lovely brioche aroma and fruity palate.

This year, Charles Heidsieck is renewing tradition and releasing a limited volume of Coteaux Champenois Rouge. Following Cyril Brun’s first foray into still wines from the region with his 4-village-pack of 2017 Coteaux Champenois Blanc, comes a single village red wine from the grand cru of Ambonnay. Due to the excellent quality of Pinot Noir at harvest, 2019 was chosen as the vintage for this release. ‘Les Champsots’ plot lies in the heart of Ambonnay, a grand cru village on the south side of the Montagne de Reims. The vineyard is naturally conducive to producing red wines and Cyril has decided to take full advantage of its potential with this bottling. The wine is 100% pinot noir aged in old oak barrels for 12 months, with further time in bottle before release. The bouquet shows aromas of raspberries, minerals, wildflowers and light spice. Silky yet weighty; texture reminiscent of a Chambolle-Musigny. The palate shows notes of red berries, light vanilla, minerals. Very long on the finish.

Truly Cristal’s sibling at not so much more than their NV – a compelling purchase. 100% organic & estate fruit. Evolved, assured.

Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs is a pale, crystalline gold colour. The nose is characterised by aromas of mature Chardonnay; white peach, candied citrus with notes of lime, honeysuckle and fresh hazelnuts giving way to subtle hints of tangerine and lemon. On the palate, the Blanc de Blancs bears all the hallmarks of a Charles Heidsieck Champagne: boldness, generosity and elegance. Embracing yet light, it displays appealing mineral, slightly salty, iodine notes, and has a silky, creamy texture – unexpected from a Chardonnay – that leaves a lasting impression.

Mt de Reims, 70% Pinot, vines border Krug’s Clos d’Ambonnay (£2k a bot). Wine Advocate “broad shoulders and expansive personality… totally delicious”. Janics loves it.

An opulent Champagne with the perfect balance of freshness and generosity, from the smallest and arguably the best of the Grande Marques. The Brut Réserve NV is a radiant pale gold colour with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is characterised by complex pastry aromas, with an opulent combination of ripe apricot, mango, greengages, dried fruits, pistachio and almond. The palate begins with a silky-smooth sensation, developing into ripe fleshy apricot, melon and enticing plum pastry notes and delicate spice. There is perfect balance of freshness and generosity.

One of the finest Champagne vintages. La Grande Dame 2008 is elegant, rich and complex. Beautiful mature aromas such as dried fruits, praline, quince paste and truffle open the door to exceptional wines with an aging potential of more than 20 years.

Star Grand Cru village of the Cotes des Blancs. Green apple fresh with plenty of golden toasty nutty richness.

90 points Robert Parker. An incredibly pretty pale rose colour. This is a delicate, fresh and delicious rosé which is made by adding Cumieres Rouge to the traditional blend, with the refermentation taking place after blending.

Golden in appearance. Initially, the nose shows subtle toasted and smoked notes with a touch of liquorice and earthy tones. When swirled in the glass, fruity notes of apricot, blackthorn, quince, blueberry and fresh almonds add an extra dimension to the wine. The palate is mineral and taut with excellent freshness, with notes of quince, vanilla and vineyard peaches on the mid-palate, followed by a crisp finish. A lovely vintage which will continue to develop great complexity and generosity over time.

As ever, totally gorgeous Champagne. One whiff and you know this is serious stuff. The aromas of baking brioche, coconut, candied citrus and leather pick up roasted coffee and grilled nuts on the palate. Decanter December 2014 - 19 (96) because it's been blended from 10 differents vintages and 47 differents wines from 25 crus, Krug is a super multi-vintage of its own kind. The extremely tough acidity, together with the heavy rich Krug aromas, are unique. This bottle had a fabulous complex nose on the palate, dominated by nuts and honey. They aftertaste was acidic, long and majestic, like a great symphony.

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. 21 crus: mainly Aÿ and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oiry 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.

Mt de Reims, 70% Pinot, vines border Krug’s Clos d’Ambonnay (£2k a bot). Wine Advocate “broad shoulders and expansive personality… totally delicious”. Janics loves it.

Intense, fruity and aromatic. . A subtle floral nose marrying rosehip, spice and freshly picked berries. The palate is silky and delicately fleshy.

Notes of peach and pink grapefruit permeate this lively fizz, made with a majority of Pinot Noir grapes.

Expressive notes of white peach, honeysuckle and quince on the nose, followed by some brioche and exotic fruits. On the palate the champagne is full and quite open, beautifully balanced and with real richness, with touches of ginger and apricot jam.

A deliciously fresh wine which perfectly expresses the complexity of the Charles Heidsieck spirit. Coral-like in appearance, with subtle orange reflections reminiscent of antique roses. Freshly picked strawberry aromas gradually become more intense, with home-made strawberry jam and blood peach alongside rich, warm notes of gingerbread and cinnamon. A vivacious palate full of red fruit, with some generous floral notes. Following a silky-rich texture, the finish is long and balanced.

Jancis Robinson MW "Well done!" Parker's Wine Advocate "One of Champagne's finest houses, Pol Roger produces among the most consistent ranges of all the Grandes Marques. The style is full-bodied and elegantly fleshy, dominated by Pinot Noir... the maison privileges its NV Brut Réserve—and indeed, while many non-vintage Bruts fluctuate in quality, Pol Roger's "white foil" bottling is both remarkably reliable and long-lived—which ranks as one of the region's best values."

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

Wine Advocate 95+/100 Disgorged in October 2018... derives from the villages of Cramant, Chouilly and Mesnil-sur-Oger, and half of the vins clairs that went into the blend were vinified in older barrels. It's still tightly wound, even after over a year on cork, unfurling in the glass with a delicate bouquet of crisp yellow apple, Meyer lemon, blanched almonds, elderflower and crushed chalk. Medium to full-bodied, deep and searingly intense, it's seamless and complete, with a bracing spine of acidity, a delicate pinpoint mousse, and a long, mouthwateringly mineral finish. This is a serious, built-to-age wine that will really reward patience.

Decanter December 2021 95/100 one of 7 wines rated Outstanding in a tasting of 93 Vintage Champagnes. Wine Advocate 93+/100 "Unfurling in the glass with incipiently complex aromas of citrus oil, wheat toast, fresh peach and crisp orchard fruit, the newly released 2012 Vintage Brut is full-bodied, deep and tightly wound, with excellent concentration, racy acids and a fine mousse, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. Even though it's still a little reserved after its recent disgorgement." "Chef de cave Emilien Boutillat supervised the sourcing of grapes for the 2012 from 12 different plots, two-thirds of which are designated as either premier cru or grand cru. In this vintage, the blend is made up of slightly more than half Pinot Noir with Chardonnay and 8g/L dosage. Simon Field MW: An accomplished, rigorous blend; persistent, complete and impressive length – nougat, lemongrass, finely etched finish. Alan Bednarski: Candied lemons and blueberry pie with some sweet citrus candies, the dosage leaving a touch of sweetness on the finish. Tim Hall: A creamy overlay to the citrus start. A cool continuation of fern and green forest and a good pure texture, too."

A crisp, well balanced champagne with citrus hints on the nose overlaid with touches of brioche and yeastiness. The palate is fresh, clean and lively with a creamy mousse and long finish.

Wine Spectator 92/100 Intense and complex pink for all occasions, aperitif or dinner wine. 80% red grapes and 25% reserve wine - serious stuff -

Jancis Robinson MW 17+/20 Lively, piercing freshness and very lemon-zesty. Appetising and energetic. The best of the best Grand Cru sites and 6 years cellar age. Heavenly homage to the chalky mature Chardonnay style. Like rich baked apple pie and green apples together. Parker 94/100 "excellent, delivering a complex bouquet of warm pastry, dried white flowers, lemon oil... elegantly rendered, underpinned by tangy acids and concluding with a precise, chalky finish."

100% Pinot, long-aged, kind of Pineau-des-Charentes-meets-Amontillado! Great success on tasting.
