Brilliant colour with golden reflections. Fine bubbles. Fruity, clean and elegant nose. Palate dominated by white-fleshed fruits supported by a chalky freshness. A fresh and fruit driven non-vintage Champagne. The Charpentier Tradition Champagnes are the very expression of the terroir of the Marne Valley, rich in Pinot Meunier grape varieties, enhanced by the hand of the winegrower, Jean-Marc Charpentier. Each cuvée is fair and balanced, harmoniously combining fruit freshness and finesse, for a simple and festive pleasure.

Well-balanced with subtle mandarin and raspberry fruits over a flavour base of strawberry, Turkish Delight and pistachio. Penfolds partnered with Thiénot, a respected player in the world of Champagne, to create this non-vintage champagne brut rosé. Colour: Youthful, bright/vivid pale-salmon Aromas: An ascent of (textbook) grenadine fruits – Avec raspberry, redcurrant, blackcurrant and strawberry. Sans pomegranate. And the citrus - pink grapefruit / mandarin marmalade. And the florals/confiserie – scents of Anis de Flavigny Violet Pastiles or Violets of Toulouse; lily. Upon sitting – wafts of cherry jam, sorry confiture. Palate: Inviting, exotic. Balanced, with an overt freshness - crispness up-front, and a delicate dosage imprint on finish. Relaxed acidity, friendly effervescence. Subtle mandarin and raspberry fruits impact immediately – over a flavour base of strawberry with pepper / Turkish Delight with pistachio. Stylistically light on its feet and sprightly … its ‘Champagne character’ teasingly revealed upon sitting. Impatience? A second glass immediately beckons. Peak Drinking: Now onwards, yet recommend to ideally drink in youth - perfect at the moment!

Champagne Duperrey has been the runaway success of the year with its elegance and complexity all wrapped up with a price tag that belies belief. Here is the more stately, Vintage Brut. Hand selected from the classic Champagne town of Reims, Champagne Duperrey Vintage Brut speaks to the terroir magnificently. On the nose this beautiful sparkling is delicate with vibrant citrus notes with a subtle touch of brioche and almond. Delicate notes of dried fruits can also be detected. Once on the palate, this Champagne truly sings with deep, robust, yet refined flavours of wild peach, pear and citrus. A Champagne that is full of charm and character.

If you like a Champagne of substance or - dare I say - 'verve', then look no further than Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut NV. It's a perfect example of harmony between delicacy and style.

Piper is not only one of the world's favourite Champagnes, it's also one of the greatest value-for-money authentic Champagnes available. Created by eight time winner of 'Sparkling Winemaker of the Year' at the International Wine Challenge, Regis Camus, this is a crisp and elegant Champagne with a depth and complexity that belies the price.

Mumm 4 is a striking, modern reinterpretation of the champagne maturation process breaking all the traditional codes associated with champagne. This mature wine is clearly labelled to show the number of years spent on the lees rather than any specific vintage year. The look: Exuberant bubbles with reflections of gold, showing discrete maturity. The aromas: Complex ripe aromas of yellow and white fruit, peach marmalade and buttercream alight entice. The taste: Fresh, lively and rounded, yet with a tension that plays right through to the finish. Mumm 4 can be savoured slowly to enjoy the deep complexity or enjoyed matched with poultry with chanterelles and apricot compote, or truffled Brie.

Champagne Philipponnat is a relatively expressive house style, balancing lively citrus and peach characters with some yeasty savoury characters, the palate has great length and finesse, a class act!

This wine presents with a bright, straw yellow color and a lively stream of fine bubbles. On the nose, delicate aromas of white peach, citrus fruits, and orange blossom mingle with hints of hazelnut and sweet spices. The palate is full and generous, mirroring the fresh fruit notes from the nose, and culminating in a complex and delightful finish.
