Champagne Bollinger
PN TX20 is the 6th cuvée of this Champagne to be released and only the 2nd to be produced from the Tauxières Premier Cru. Situated on the southwest slopes of the Montagne de Reims, the Tauxières cru benefits from a unique exposure and soil, blending chalk and clay, creating ideal conditions for the Pinot Noir to thrive. This prestigious vineyard is renowned for the freshness, elegance, and aromatic complexity it imparts to the wines and it is from this exceptional terroir that the PN TX20 cuvée draws its structure, precision, and distinctive character.

Billecart-Salmon
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.

Contarini
A slightly off dry sparkling wine made from white grapes including Glera the grape variety of Prosecco. Made by our main Prosecco producer you'd be hard pressed to notice the difference in a blind tasting,but you will notice the price difference! Great value.

Pierre Bertrand
This 2015 is a fantastic vintage, with its equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The nose is delicate, subtle, powdered with pastry tones. On the palate, the attack is somewhat lively, with beautiful bitter notes that gradually melt. Serve as an aperitif or with poultry and game.

Champagne Joseph Perrier
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.

Interestingly made from Merlot and Semillon grapes and made in the traditional method employed for all Cremants and Champagnes. A lovely pale lemon colour, with notes of lemon, melon and green apple, this has a fine streak of acidity and tangy citrus. With its lifted citrus flavours and its fresh aftertaste, it is ready to drink now.

Nyetimber
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

Champagne Joseph Perrier
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.

Billecart-Salmon
Created in 1988 as a tribute to one of the House’s founders, Elisabeth Salmon, this cuvée distinguishes itself through its refined purity of grandeur and unique character. This great, rare and sought-after wine subtly offers the signature of our top Pinot Noir and Chardonnay terroirs. Elisabeth Salmon 2012 highlights the full breadth of the savoir-faire required to blend the House’s rosé in an exceptional year. The aroma dispalys a refreshing, sensual expression of the senses, redolent of red and black berries. The exquisite feel of a rich and complex aromatic amplitude (bilberry, gooseberry, peony). Beautifully refined, mature olfactory notes, respectfully running the gamut of the inimitable scent of fragrant roses and crystallised violets. On the palate, a tactile impact of restrained yet bewitching power and, at the same time, finesse. The harmonious fulfilment of delicious flavours and pastries (panettone, cherry clafoutis). A delicate mouthfeel progressing towards a hint of chalkiness in a long finish redolent of cedarwood and blood orange jelly. A wine of remarkable refinement that signals its personality with an immense delicacy of texture and flavours. An aromatic charm of a rare mineral kind to accompany lovely poultry with crayfish or a few royal langoustines.

Champagne Joseph Perrier
Decanter Review: "Four Stars, 16.5 / 20. Ripe Pinot fruit, a hint of spice, incisive, Chardonnay-led freshness. More precise thanks to a lowered dosage of 8g/l. Exemplary." Michael Edwards July 2011. A classic Champagne with orchard fruits and spice aromas.
