Stewed apple, evocatively smoky aromas. Fine mousse. Tangy acid. Nice biscuity, toasty and yeasty autolysis. Succulent, umami-opulent palate. Complex and harmoniously rounded. Saline finish. Lovely energy and core focus, steely but also lots of joy here. Smart stuff.
Expressive and lively, this has aromas of baked apples with bright, fresh acidity and a delicious, rounded finish. And with less pressure than you find in a Champagne, the bubbles lend a lovely, soft texture to the wine which makes it even more moreish.
Fresh and light with delicate aromas from the jasmine. Honeysuckle, citrus and tropical fruit lead into an expansive and refreshing palate of jasmine and white flowers, with delicate white tea and green apple fruit on the clean, fresh finish. Highly versatile; pair with delicate dishes, sushi and soft cheeses. Best enjoyed at 5°C in a champagne glass.
A shiny ruby colour with deep scarlet hints. Aromatics of red berries, blackberries and blackcurrant combine with strawberry. Mandarin orange with traces of saffron lead on the palate with more juicy fruits on the mid palate,spiced and smokey notes leading to a long finish.
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.
A gently vacuum-based de-alcoholisation process preserves the rich, round aromas to create a high-quality product that is 0 % alcohol. The sparkling non-alcoholic drink indulges the palate with exhilarating freshness, a fresh nose and a fruity tang
Good brilliance with sustained effervescence and a very persistent foam. At first the nose is delicate, fresh and fruity, filled with white-fleshed fruits (pears, Bosc apples), apricots, as well as hazelnuts and fresh almonds. Several floral and spicy notes add an extra hint of complexity.
A pleasant, mid-weight Champagne that shows lovely complexity. Suggestions of smoke, roasted nuts and light honey add character to a generous core of ripe yellow fruit. The wine offers excellent overall balance and a poised finish
Subtle, forthright and very fresh on the nose, Laurent-Perrier Rose suggests a basketful of small berry fruits: strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, blackberries, redcurrants, and black cherries.
A perfumed nose with hints of citrus and white fruits. Fresh and easy on the palate, with a creamy mousse and notes of honeysuckle, ripe peach, citrus and a slight toasty note on the finish.
A floral, buttery Blanc de Blancs Champagne from Lallier that is made exclusively with Chardonnay grapes from Ay, France. Aromas of hawthorn, acacia, freshly-baked brioche, butter, hazelnut and praline fill the nose, complemented by notes of lemon, yuzu, subtle minerals and ripe peaches throughout the palate.
Matured in bottle on its lees for 48 months, it captures clean fresh red fruit on the nose, followed by lively fresh fruit flavours of wild strawberry and raspberry on the palate with an appealing softness.
Light, delicate bubbles. Apple, pear and white flower aromas that follow through to the palate with deliciously crisp acidity. The palate is dry, with enough fruit flavours to balance and enrich. Lighter in style than prosecco, not quite soo fizzy, but the bubbles have a continuous flow.
The nose is fragrant with fresh strawberries, raspberries and wild cherries. The palate is fresh and crisp, opening up a melange of red fruit flavours that linger on the finish.
It opens with top notes of dried fruit, almonds and hazelnuts, with grilled or toasted aromas. The wine is rounded and generous on the palate with lovely warmth and roundness. It will age gracefully in bottle developing notes of honey and pine sap.
