A ‘really bright and tangy’ Champagne from a family-operated producer based in Avize, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. ‘Creamy, bright and approachable, there’s a generosity and roundness to this with honeycomb on the finish,’ said one enthusiastic taster as our judges made it a Wine Champion for 2025, and it offers fantastic quality for its price.

Splurge on this brilliant, smoky, digestive biscuit of a vintage champagne from a hot year and a little-known house.

A family domaine champagne, making wine for over 130 years, this is an impressively sumptuous champagne and one that has me reaching for a smoked salmon pin-wheel quicker than you can say “Is it Christmas yet?”. You will love the aromas of fresh butter-croissant, soft-baked apples and a twist of lemon all wrapped up inside the velvety smooth bubbles.

Elegant and refined, this Premier Cru from family-run maison Albert Lebrun is approachable yet subtly complex, perfect as an aperitif but also a perfect companion to roast chicken, sausages or - why not - your Christmas turkey. Apple and quince are filled with creamy lemon curd and topped with toasted walnuts and fresh hazelnuts. Beautiful finish with a tail of apple peel and lemon balm.

Light nose and very punchy. Excellent value and no drawbacks. Not complex but buy! Looks quite respectable, too. Very good value. JancisRobinson.com

Mid-straw in colour with a powerful mousse, the wine is youthful with yellow and green apple fruit accented with biscuit and toast autolysis. Medium-bodied with lively acidity and flavourful fruit, the wine is expressive, especially on the finish. The Le Brun estate was founded in the village of Avize in 1860 by Leon Le Brun, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs area. Today the family-owned tradition is well kept by the descendants of Leon Launois. This wine, dominated by Chardonnay, displays a pale lemon-yellow hue and well-defined cordon with yellow peach, golden apple and strawberry fruit with an undertone of brioche and an overlay of lemon zest. Brut style, the light-bodied palate is framed by bracing acidity and velvet-textured mousse. Nicely defined, the wine will match classic French onion tart.
