The classic region of Sparkling wine from France, home to the most expensive Sparkling wine in the world. There is a variety of grapes allowed in Champagne; the main three varieties are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. All Champagne must be created via the ‘traditional method (Méthode traditionnelle)’. This is incredibly labour intensive and produces some of the finest bubbles around!
An especially open and expressive nose begins with notes of dried fruit, cocoa, almond and coconut. Allowed to breathe, notes of yellow fruits such as Mirabelle plum and eau de vie add complexity to the nose which, though young, is rich and promising. The palate is exceedingly fresh.
A vibrant, clear yellow robe with glints of gold. At first the nose is delicate, fresh and fruity, filled with white-fleshed fruits like pears and apricots, as well as hazelnuts and fresh almonds. Several floral and spicy notes add an extra hint of complexity.
Cristal is a remarkably balanced and refined champagne whose length is inimitable. It has a silky texture and fruity aromas, complemented by a powerful mineral quality with white fruit and citrus notes.
Pale yellow gold with tiny persistent bubbles. Lemon, pineapple, ginger, hints of honey and brioche. On the palate Apple, lemon, pear, almond, chalky minerality and subtle yeast notes.
Lemony richness on the nose, a struck-match character that falls in with a lemon vanilla note. Toffee apple allure on the palate with chalky coolness and a savoury, nutty finish.
