Joseph Perrier is a small house in terms of Grand Marque champagnes - only 1 million bottles produced a year, and still uses some of the traditional champagne making techniques. Their emphasis is on quality and it shows. Rich fruity style, Sometimes, a half-bottle of champagne is all you really need, in which case, we have you sorted with this.

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."

Black forest fruits, wild raspberries and black pepper on the nose, with soft yeasty notes, spice and red fruits on the palate. There is a zing of acidity that brings something entirely new to the red grape, lifting its weight. Ageing : one year on the yeast after the second fermentation in steel, allowing the powerful fruit to do the talking.

"Tight and tightly laced with some putty aromas. So savoury and mineral! Very distinctive. Should be long-lived. Admirably persistent." 17/20 Drink 2022-2028 Jancis Robinson MW

Lovely easy to drink refreshing fizz made from Glera and Pinot Noir, sweet berried fruit, cleansing acidity and plenty of froth.

Elegant with aromas of apple, lemongrass and freshly baked bread together with hints of apricot on the palate and fine persistent bubbles.

Decanter 95/100: "multi-layered and intensely flavoured with freshly baked bread, spiced white peach, and tangy acidity... very engaging and accomplished". Jancisrobinson.com 17.5 "very confident". Roederer's superb cool-climate California estate, since the 80s and on best-ever form now.

The 2018 vintage of Rathfinny Estate's Classic Cuvee is the third vintage of this classic Sussex Sparkling wine, made with a combination of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grapes. The palate offers notes of crunchy red apples, creamy tangerine mousse and toasted almond brittle.

PRO for Prosecco, VER for Vero (Truly in Italian) BIO for Biologico (Organic). The palate is soft and fresh, offering zippy acidity and a complex array of primary fruit flavours, including peach, pear and apricot. This is enjoyable on its own as an aperitif but also pairs wonderfully with oriental cuisine. All vineyards are situated on gentle hillside slopes in the Treviso province, at an altitude of 250 metres above sea level. The grapes are carefully handpicked in mid-late September when they have reached full maturity, but still retain a high acidity level, giving the freshness and fruitiness typical of Prosecco.

Mature and complex NV The nose has maturity with a touch of floral freshness for this cuvée, which expresses aromas of fresh fruit and ripe pears. A full and precise flavour followed by a fine freshness and a rich bouquet bear witness to the ageing of this cuvée in the House’s traditional cellars.

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. I agree with Alistair Cooper MW, as below. "baby brother to Clos St-Hilaire" (only £300 cheaper!!!). I've always loved Sous Bois but the current release sees it "on fine mid-season form" as Bertie Wooster might say. Tasting it recently (March 2022) was like a flashback to a recent tasting at Krug. This is a wine certainly head and shoulders above its status and price. Billecart launched it with ambition, and they have over-delivered. Utterly charming. jancisrobonson.com 17+ "A baby brother to Clos St-Hilaire, 100% barrel-fermented. One-third of each variety from selected parcels – older, lower-yielding parcels tend to be chosen for the Sous Bois. 52% grand cru grapes, 16% premier cru (across the whole portfolio; their Meunier isn’t grand or premier cru). One-third reserve wine. Malo blocked. Long lees-ageing (6–7 years). Slightly oxidative style – the most oxidative they make. A richer mouthfeel as well as real bite. A savoury and yeasty note on the nose – almost slight Marmite (yeast extract). The oak is very well integrated and just frames the wine – the subtle note of spice comes in on the finish – slightly cedary note? (AC)"

Jancis Robinson OBE MW "Very correct and lively. Quite an eye-opener for me who has in the past not associated Piper with great quality. Broad and mouth-filling with some maturity. On the right track." Parker's Wine Advocate "fresh, young and modern cuvée with an open white fruit aroma on the nose intermixed with brioche flavors. Pretty round and elegant in the mouth, this is a very aromatic, but also finesse-full and refreshing blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay. It is quite fruit-intense in the finish."

Billecart Salmon Demi Sec NV Champagne 75cl is a full flavoured champagne and is a reference for its perfect balance between sugar, alcohol and acidity. The champagne blend is identical to the Brut Reserve but with a greater dosage, creating a lively aroma with a hint of delicate flowers and evolving into buttery brioche notes. In the glass, it has a beautiful, pale gold colour, emitting a constant procession of fine, regular and persistent bubbles in the glass.

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.

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

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

Elegant with aromas of apple,strrawberry and freshly baked bread together with hints of raspberry on the palate and fine persistent bubbles.

Moët Impérial is the House’s iconic champagne. Created in 1869, it embodies Moët & Chandon’s unique style, a style distinguished by its bright fruitiness, its seductive palate and its elegant maturity.

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.

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.

The case consists of: 3 x Classic Cuvee Multi-Vintage 2 x Rosé MV 1 x Blanc de Blanc 2014 1 x Cuvee Chérie Multi Vintage High Street Price - £236, but on offer for £199, including free national delivery. A perfect gift.

Rich in colour, structured, and versatile. Greath depth of character. Rathfinny 2018 Rosé is the fourth vintage of our expressive Sussex Sparkling, with a red-fruit style that beautifully showcases the increased presence of Pinot Noir within the blend. “Rathfinny English sparklers rank among the best; their new release 2018 rosé is subtle and complex – look out for red apple, raspberry, red cherry, crème anglaise, orange peel and white pepper.” Susy Atkins, Stella Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph

Rich and extra-dry with a highly mineral palate that lingers, our Prosecco Superiore DOCG is characterised by hints of crostini and chamomile. While you might initially think the Della Vite Prosecco Superiore is named after its founders Chloe, Poppy and Cara Delevingne, it’s actually the Italian term for “of the vine”. Based in Northern Italy’s Prosecco region of Valdobbiadene, the Biasotto’s winery, Foss Marai, grows the Glera grapes on 40-year-old vines that are hand-picked to produce every bottle of fizz. Sparkling with notes of citrus blossom and olive, this vegan tipple complements plates of figs and honey as well as fresh rocket salads.

The fruit on this has a great spread of white peachy flesh sweetness, crisp apple tartness, back-throat citrus-pith bitters. Easy to like but not simplistic, and Cava at its very essence rather than a champagne knockoff. A good-quality Cava at a very good price.
