Champagne and Sparkling

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

Lush. Like a ripe pear.

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.

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.

Ripe red fruits and spice flavour shaped by the dominant Pinot Noir, and plenty of reserve wine. Wonderfully fresh and crisp, Chardonnay the tempering hand.

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.

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."

To celebrate 185 years of the house, here is the first vintage Rosé made by Joseph Perrier. It is blended from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards and made up of 20% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Meunier and 75% Pinot Noir, incorporating 12% Cumieres Rouge.

Aged for 2 years this Pinot based Cremant has Berry fruit and toasty aromas. The palate shows yeasty biscuit, very champagne like. Good value.

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

Jancis Robinson MW 19.5+/20 (surely her highest-ever score for any wine). Probs the most sought-after Champagne on earth. Decater 98/100 "Magnificent". Parker 97+

Cabernet Franc, Chenin Blanc, and Chardonnay make up the balance of this exceptional sparkling white wine. As the owners of Raymond Morin say, the grapes of Loire Valley are ideally suited to “take the bubble”. Made in the traditional method by secondary fermentation in bottle and aged on lees for three years minimum, this is a remarkably good value wine. Fruity aromas from the Cabernet Franc, body from the Chardonnay, and persistent acidity from the Chenin Blanc. What more could you want? There’s a clear reason why it’s our ‘preference’ at CWM.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Always rated among the top ten non-vintage champagne, and somehow the most celebratory & irreverently fun wine.

A new wine from Joseph Perrier, this comes from only Pinot Noir grapes harvested from the family's own vineyard in Cumieres. It has zero dosage and shows the ripe expression of this extremely fine vineyard.

Roederer's world-famous luxury cuvee

Limoux is the world's original birthplace of sparkling wine, with the first bubbles produced here in the year 1544, some 150 years before Dom Perignon began making sparkling wine in Champagne.Winemaker Francoise Antech is third generation of women running the company.Jancis Robinson: "Good Value. Refreshing...Super clean and long."

100% Chardonnay from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards: Chouilly, Avize, Cumières Blanc, Le Mesnil sur Oger. Winemaking: Fermented parcel by parcel in stainless vat before ageing in bottle for at least 6 years.

A delicate, fresh and fruity champagne. Apples, pears and apricots are followed with characteristic hazelnut, brioche and spice notes as the palate develops. Surprisingly weighty. A superb match with all types of shellfish.

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.

This one of a kind Champagne comes from the family's own vineyard in Cumieres. It has zero dosage and shows the ripe expression of this extremely fine vineyard.

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

Not actually sweet, but off-dry, like a ripe pear. Gorgeous as an after-dinner sipper (the French like fizz after the meal, and love Demi-Sec) or to accompany fruity or less sweet desserts.

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

Tiny house in the famous village of Cumieres in the Marne valley. Pinot-dominated like most wines from this village, it's deep copper/gold and wonderfully peachy and lush, explosively juicy, and cracking value.
