Henriot Blanc de Blancs Non-Vintage

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Blanc de Blancs

A legacy since 1734, Champagne Taittinger is the largest eponymous family owned Champagne House and one of the top, independent champagne brands in the world. This family of growers cultivates the second largest vineyard in the Champagne region. The composition of the house’s cuvées is a result of an intuitive and complex process, one which the Taittinger family know how to create and sustain; a Champagne which is completely unique. The Taittinger Comtes Blanc de Blancs 2007 is a lively champagne with a light, abundant bubble. There is a bouquet on the nose of pears and fresh cut flowers and flavours of lemon zest and fresh pineapple. A delicate balance of finesse and aromatic intensity.

Bollinger Special Cuvée Brut Non-Vintage Twin Pack

Product Description: Great things come in twos, introducing the Bollinger Special Cuvée Brut NV Twin Pack. For life's special moments, this exquisite champagne duo promises an unforgettable experience no matter the occasion. As for the champagne... Bollinger Special Cuvée is the label of choice for spoiling loved ones who enjoy the finer things in life. For over a century, connoisseurs have returned to Bollinger Special Cuvée for its subtlety, consistency, and the glamour it brings to everyday occasions. This release is a delicate mix of 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Meunier with over 85% Grands and Premiers crus. Special Cuvée is cellar-aged for double the length required by appellation regulations. It’s equally delectable when enjoyed on its own, mixed into a mimosa or paired with seafood, full-bodied cheeses or richer meats like venison or beef. Did you know in 1911, Georges Bollinger’s British agent suggested swapping the original name which was “brut sans année” for the English word “special” to better convey this Champagne’s outstanding qualities - and a star was born. Bollinger Special Cuvée is the brand’s raison d’être! The Maker: For almost two hundred years, Champagne Bollinger has been making powerful, refined and complex wines that express the aromas of fruit in all its dimensions. In 1829, Athanase de Villermont’s vast estate just outside the town of Äy provided the backdrop for the founding of an extraordinary Champagne house - but as an aristocrat, Athanese was forbidden from engaging in commercial trade. With the recruitment of Joseph “Jacques” Bollinger, a Champagne merchant, and Paul Renaudin, a Champernois fascinated by the world of wine, the Bollinger legacy began. The Bollinger style is inimitable and recognised as such by great connoisseurs. It possesses a dense and subtle presence: a balance of the intensity of great Pinot Noirs and the freshness of Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs. The house’s offerings are rooted in 5 tangible principles: the vineyards; Pinot Noir; magnums of reserve wines; the barrels, and time. Bollinger wines release a creamy effervescence resulting from vinifying in oak barrels and prolonged contact with the yeasts. Every tasting yields new delights that are guaranteed to transport you. The Vineyard: Bollinger has built its vineyards at the heart of the finest crus in Champagne. 180 hectares of vines are made up of 85% Grand and Premier crus and are farmed by our teams of growers across 7 separate vineyards: Aÿ, Avenay, Tauxières, Louvois and Verzenay for Pinot Noir; the Montagne de Reims, Cuis for Chardonnay; and the Côte des Blancs and Champvoisy for Meunier. Another of Bollinger’s distinctive features are the two plots of Clos Saint-Jacques and Chaudes Terres. There, ungrafted vines are entirely tended by hand and reproduced using a form of layering called provignage, preserving the extraordinary heritage from which the Vieilles Vignes Françaises cuvée is produced. Pinot Noir is the varietal on which Bollinger has staked its reputation. A demanding grape that requires care at every step, it remains front and centre because of the incomparable finesse it brings to a wine. Today, the Pinot Noir planted around the Montagne de Reims represents over 60% of the Bollinger vineyards. This also just happens to be the exact proportion it occupies in Special Cuvée! Multi-faceted and surprising, its unusually high ratio in the blends is a signature of the Bollinger style, to which it lends power, body and vinosity. It has been one of the founding principles of Champagne Bollinger’s identity from the very beginning. Bollinger is guided by a responsibility anchored in time and a commitment to people, the earth and our roots. It is committed to the well-being of its teams, preserving biodiversity, and reducing the brand’s carbon footprint. NOSE - Powerful, complex, red fruits The beauty of ripe fruit and spicy aromas; hints of roasted apples, compote and peaches. PALATE - Lush, enveloping, creamy A subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity; bubbles like velvet; pear, brioche and spicy aromas, notes of fresh walnut. FINISH - Dry, mineral, petrichor Mellow and refreshing, punctuated by a crisp bite derived from its Chardonnay component. Reviews + Accolades: 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Meunier sourced from more than 300 crus, including 85% grands and premiers crus; 15% fermented in old oak barrels. The complexity and richness of Special Cuvée is unparalleled among the entry non-vintage blends of every Champagne house, short of ascending to the mesosphere of Krug. Its grand recipe explains why, built on incredible depth of 50%-60% reserves. Triumphant complexity is a given at Bollinger, but it’s the dynamic freshness and vitality that really set it apart as one of the most affordable Champagne benchmarks. - Decanter, 96 Points.

The predominant Chardonnay brings finesse, while the four-year ageing period deepens its complexity, resulting in an exquisite balance of freshness and buttery richness. This exceptional Champagne is accompanied by two beautifully crafted flutes, all presented in a luxurious white and gold gift box. An ideal ensemble for sharing memorable moments or gifting to someone special, Laurent-Perrier delivers a refined experience with unmatched value. Maker: Founded in 1812 by André-Michel Pierlot, Laurent-Perrier has a storied history rooted in the Grand Cru village of Tours-sur-Marne. Following Pierlot’s legacy, the House was eventually passed to Eugène Laurent and later his widow, Mathilde-Emilie Perrier, who established Laurent-Perrier as a leader in fine Champagne with her “Grand Vin Sans Sucre.” In 1939, Marie-Louise de Nonancourt acquired the estate, and her son, Bernard, revolutionised the House post-war, transforming it into a global icon synonymous with freshness and elegance. Today, Laurent-Perrier remains family-owned, with Bernard’s daughters and Michel Fauconnet, Cellar Master since 2004, continuing the commitment to quality and independence. The arrival of Lucie Pereyre de Nonancourt in 2019 further reinforces the House’s innovative spirit and dedication to excellence. Philosophy: Laurent-Perrier’s hallmark style revolves around finesse and purity, led by a focus on Chardonnay, which represents 55% of the blend in La Cuvée. By blending traditional practices with innovative techniques, the House creates unique wines that tell their own story. A key to their process is the use of stainless steel vats, allowing low-temperature fermentation to preserve freshness and aromatic complexity. Every batch is vinified separately, giving the Cellar Master the flexibility to blend only the finest grapes from esteemed vineyards, including 17 Grands Crus and 42 Premiers Crus. Their meticulous approach extends to a lengthy ageing period, ensuring that each cuvée is perfectly ready for enjoyment. Pioneers in low-dosage Champagnes, Laurent-Perrier introduced their “Grand Vin Sans Sucre” in 1889 and Ultra Brut in 1981. Today, they continue this legacy with creations like Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature, bridging tradition and innovation in every glass.
