Grande Marques Champagne Case

Following a recent renovation of the cellar, this cuvée has great tension and precision. A pinot noir-dominant blend, it also has an irresistible touch of brioche, Mirabelle plum and grapefruit on the palate that last well on the bright finish.

A hedonist's dream from one of the great Champagne houses. There are many technical factors that have led to Bollinger’s richer, yet subtle house style. Firstly, a large proportion (85%) of the grapes are from grand cru vineyards, and 60% of the blend is pinot noir both of which contribute towards the generous and concentrated style of the wine. A proportion of the wine (approximately 15%) underwent its first fermentation in oak barrels, adding further complexity, and around 50% of the non-vintage blend is made up of reserve wines, a higher-than-average proportion, that contributes to the consistency and depth of flavours of this Champagne. Bollinger is also allowed to age in cellar, on the lees, for a minimum of 36 months, (twice the legal minimum) before disgorgement, allowing these lees-y, brioche flavours to develop and gain balance. All of this care and attention has cemented the popularity of this wonderfully deep yet elegant, successful house style. We offer a case saving on all our non-vintage Champagnes.

Champagne Deutz is rather less well-known in the UK than it might be as most of the production is drunk enthusiastically in France! They make fine, pure Champagne in a style that is dry, graceful and delicate. A bright and crisp Champagne with a very precise mouthfeel, pin-head bubbles and a fine toasty finish.

Famously opulent, always elegantly dry, Brut Premier combines equal parts pinot noir and chardonnay from Roederer's own vines, with 20% pinot meunier sourced from organic growers. The final blend is enriched by the addition of cask-aged mature wines, and spends three years on its lees to boost flavour and complexity yet further. Exquisitely balanced Champagne with a deliciously decadent touch.

With choice plots in the Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne, and the expertise of six generations of family ownership, Pol Roger craft the bone-dry, clean-cut, floral character of Brut Réserve with impressive consistency. A three-way blend of the trio of Champagne varieties, with the toastiness of lengthy yeast-lees-ageing and a famously fine mousse that never fails to hit the spot, this is a gorgeous aperitif, with the structure to partner food – notably fish and chips!

We were so pleased to see this enduring favourite crowned a Champion yet again this year: it is the product of more than a century of working with the small house of Alfred Gratien, and seeing it triumph so consistently is a testament to the quality that has resulted. Fermented in small oak casks and given generous bottle ageing, it shows great depth of flavour and class.
