75cl Heidsieck Monopole NV Blue Top Champagne~~An outstanding Champagne from a top quality House. This Non-Vintage is one of Champagne's best kept secrets.

Heidsieck source fruit from all over the Champagne region. Working closely with growers ensured the vineyards were managed to provide quality fruit. The grapes were hand-picked, gently pressed as whole bunches and fermented at cool temperature in stainless steel tanks. A high percentage of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier gave the wine weight and depth. After secondary fermentation the wine was aged on its yeast lees giving a toasty, creamy mouthfeel.~75cl Heidsieck Monopole NV Blue Top Champagne|1981204997|~20906~22805~~

75cl Lanson Black Label~~A quality Champagne, loved the world over and is a showcase for the ideas and character of those making it.

Three grape varieties come into making of Lanson Brut: Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (black grapes) and Chardonnay (white grapes). An impressive range of 40 to 50 crus are blended together to form this Champagne and they are all vivified seperately so the cellar master has an exceptional choice of aromas available to him, thus guaranteeing the consistent Lanson taste at all times.

Lanson is one of the very few Champagne Houses not practising malolactic fermentation, a fact to be noted in Champagne. This Lanson tradition allows wines to develop to the full and to better their wealth of aromas. 3 Years ageing in over 4 miles of cellars, combined with the cellar master's expertise, are essential components of perfect maturing.~75cl Lanson Black Label|1981203005|~20906~21035~~

75cl Bollinger Special Cuvee Champagne~~Following the harvest period, Bollinger's decisions on blending are not made before January. The blend for the Special Cuvée is an ideal version of the classic Champagne blend, using the different grapes of a given year from a variety of crus, with the addition of older, reserve wines. This blend necessarily incorporates subtle variations each year whilst remaining consistent to a style. It is, therefore, the hardest of all Bollinger to make. It contains the full expression of the Bollinger style and the House feels it should be judged on this - its benchmark wine.

The denomination Special Cuvée was created in 1911. The idea came from William Folks, then partner of the illustrious London House of Mentzendorff. This great wine lover felt it was an insult to simply call this great wine "non vintage". The suggestion of naming it "Special Cuvée" was immediately approved by Monsieur Bollinger.
A blend par excellence, the Special Cuvée is the purest expression of the Bollinger style; of its craftsmanship and its singular conception of what a champagne should be. It is, therefore, on this wine that the House of Bollinger shows how it is different from other Champagne Houses, asserts its qualitative policy and by which it asks to be judged.~75cl Bollinger Special Cuvee Champagne|1981203005|~20906~22810~~

75cl Piper Heidsieck Cuvee Brut~~Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée brut is an exceptionally well balanced champagne fresh and lively, with light aromas of citrus fruits and spring flowers. Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut champagne brings its own lively, vivacious and exuberant character to dry champagne's traditional elegance and finesse. Piper-Heidsieck's Cuvée Brut combines 50 rigorously selected growths.

Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes give Cuvée Brut its structure and elegance. Reserve wines from earlier years are used to create a more rounded blend and ensure the originality of the Piper-Heidsieck style. The wine's harmony develops over the course of slow ageing in Piper-Heidsieck's chalk cellars.

Ideal for drinks with friends, cocktail and garden parties, nights spent enjoying every moment until dawn's early light, informal fish and seafood dinners, 'nouvelle cuisine' surprises all manner of choice is permitted!

All the richness and finesse of the Mumm vineyard is expressed in Cordon Rouge. In the late nineteenth century, this champagne was decorated with the famous red ribbon, as a tribute to the Legion d'Honneur.

In their new finery the bottles were presented to Mumm's best customers. The decoration became the hallmark of one of the world's most renowned champagnes, Mumm Cordon Rouge!~75cl G.H.Mumm Cordon Rouge Champagne|1981203005|~20906~21037~~

75cl Lanson Rose Champagne~~Lanson was one of the first brands to offer Rosé Champagne. In this respect, the House has over 50 years experience.

Rosé derives its pink tint from the blending of the 3 classic grape varieties, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. It is produced in the traditional way with a small amount of fine red wine made exclusively from Pinot Noir to give the wine its colour. Lanson Brut Rosé retains the same consistent personality. Indeed, being a non-vintage allows the blending of 40 to 50 cuvees of different years.

After 3 years of ageing in the cellars, this blend becomes one of the most sought after and consumed champagnes in the world.

It gives off aromas of flower and fruit much like those of Black Label, but without the touch of red berries and displays harmony and balance between roundness and freshness.~75cl Lanson Rose Champagne|1981203005|~20906~21036~~

75cl Veuve Clicquot Demi Sec~~True to the structure of Veuve Clicquot Wines, the Demi-Sec is blended largely from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The blend is completed by about a quarter of Chardonnay and 15-25% of reserve wines. I higher dosage gives it richer notes with detracting from its freshness.

A beautiful yellow colour with deep golden glints, and fine, even mousse. An intense fragrance reminiscent of ripe fruit (candied citrus fruit, fruit liqueurs) with notes of brioche and toast. Round and mellow in the mouth, with mild acidity maintaining a pleasant silkiness.

The practice of decanting this wine, which dates to Madam Clicquot's time, makes it even more delectable.

The Demi-Sec is at its best with desserts. Pastries and desserts based on fresh fruit, citrus and dried fruit will lend delightfully with the wine's smooth qualities.

This is an enchanting wine of vigour, combining freshness of Spirit with the refinement of Heart.~75cl Veuve Clicquot Demi Sec|1981203005|~20906~21043~~

75cl Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label~~A Champagne House is eventually judged on the quality of its Brut Non Vintage. It is in the making of such a wine that the true Art of Champagne blending reveals itself.

This is an art in which the House of Veuve Clicquot excels. Our Brut Yellow Label reflects the superb vineyards we own and the consistent nature of our House style. The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot, while a touch of Pinot Meunier rounds out the blend. Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine.

Grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different Crus go to the blending of Yellow Label. Traditionally, the proportion of each grape variety used is : 50 to 55% Pinot Noir - 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier - 28 to 33% Chardonnay.

These figures vary slightly from year to year according to conditions. The Chef de Caves has to achieve the total consistency of taste, which makes Yellow Label so immediately recognisable, so utterly reliable both in terms of quality, colour and bouquet.~75cl Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label|1981203005|~20906~22820~~

75cl Piper Heidsieck Rose Champagne~~A charming wine with delicate and enchanting accents. It gives an impression of youth and vigour but also tenderness and serenity. The ultimate in refinement.

The harmony of the blend develops during a long maturing process lasting at least thirty months in the Piper-Heidsieck chalk cellars.
A carefully studied simplicity that will enable you to express a spontaneity full of charm.
An intense colour, a clear and deep pink, whilst on the nose, the first impression is fresh, suggesting the high spirit and vivacity typical of the Piper-Heidsieck style. It has a strong aroma of red fruit, dominated by the Morello cherry. This is followed by a fragrant harmony of citrus fruit, mandarins and blood oranges. The final impression leaves a hint of cinnamon.
The palate is lively, generous - an intense wine. Its freshness is expressed by the slight tartness of red fruit, which then mellows with the aromas of macerated fruit and red plums. The final sensation is exuberant and warm.~75cl Piper Heidsieck Rose Champagne|1981203005|~20906~21041~~

The origins of Champagne Taittinger date back to the original house founded in 1734 by Jacques Fourneaux. Its links to the Taittinger family however began in 1931, when it was purchased by the founder of today’s company; Pierre Taittinger. Since 1960 the house has been headed by Pierre’s son, Claude Taittinger, who is also the winemaker.
