Champagne
Charles Heidsieck NV Rosé Réserve Champagne
Powdery pink with luminous rose highlights and a delicate, lively bead. Strawberry jam and vineyard peach lead the nose, followed by warm gingerbread. The palate is deep and generous, layering strawberry, raspberry and blackberry over a creamy texture. Freshness and fine structure keep the finish precise, poised and quietly savoury.
Veuve Clicquot 2012 La Grande Dame
White flowers, jasmine and honeysuckle open into apple, pear and ripe peach. Fresh almond and frangipane add quiet richness before dried apricot, hazelnut and a light honeyed note emerge on the palate. Silky in texture yet firmly structured, it balances depth and power with fine mineral tension, finishing long, elegant and remarkably composed.
Raineteau-Grimet NV Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Champagne
Light yellow with golden highlights, opening on lemon and grapefruit. The palate is direct and refreshing, with bright acidity shaping the clean citrus fruit and a fine, energetic profile. Made entirely from Chardonnay grown around Chamery, it closes with poised freshness, mineral clarity and the balanced length expected of a Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs.
Gosset NV Grand Rosé Brut Champagne
Fresh strawberry and red berry aromas lead, joined by citrus, white flowers and a light touch of biscuit. The palate is rounded but precise, with fine bubbles, bright acidity and a smooth, supple texture. Red fruit and gentle toast carry through an enveloping finish that stays lively, balanced and clean.
Nicolas Feuillatte NV Brut Réserve Champagne
Champagne Henriot NV Blanc de Blancs Brut
Lemon zest, green apple and white flowers lead into brioche, pastry and a touch of wet chalk. The palate is elegant and focused, with a fine, lacy mousse carrying apricot, lime peel and quince. Chiselled acidity keeps the creamy texture bright, while biscuit and mineral notes linger on the harmonious finish.
Charles Heidsieck 2012 Brut Millésimé Champagne
Gold in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse. Candied citrus, baked apple and white flowers lead into toasted brioche, roasted hazelnut and a touch of clear honey. The palate is broad and creamy yet held taut by lemony acidity and mineral freshness. A long, saline finish brings almond, smoke and quiet spice.
Agrapart NV Complantée Extra Brut Champagne
White blossom and lemon zest lead, with fresh chalk and a light hazelnut note adding depth. The palate is taut and precise, its fine, persistent bubbles balanced by a gently silky texture. Mineral and distinctly saline through the long finish, it pairs naturally with gravlax, cheese gougères, morel mushrooms or delicate roast poultry.
Pol Roger Brut Reserve NV Champagne
Golden and finely beaded, with ripe pear and mango opening into honeysuckle, jasmine, vanilla and warm brioche. The palate is generous but controlled, pairing orchard fruit with bright citrus and a lightly saline, biscuit-edged finish. Its freshness and breadth make it an easy aperitif, with enough substance for smoked salmon, roast chicken or aged Comte.
Perrier-Jouët NV Grand Brut Champagne
Château de Bligny NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Light gold, with fine, persistent bubbles and aromas of stewed white fruit, crystallized lemon and spring flowers. A subtle saline note gives the nose lift. The palate is fresh, lively and structured, bringing almond, nougatine and brioche into a dense but precise frame. A taut mineral finish leaves a lingering caramelized-nut note. Serve with scallops or roast chicken.
Pascal Doquet 2007 Le Mont Aimé Cœur de Terroir Premier Cru Champagne
Verrier & Fils Tradition Brut NV Champagne 375 mL
Citrus, white flowers and fresh apple open over almond, cherry and a light pastry note. Fine, steady bubbles lead into a creamy yet crisp palate, where grapefruit brightness and balanced acidity keep the richer flavours in check. The finish is clean and persistent. A useful half bottle for two glasses, especially with oysters, gougeres or mild washed-rind cheese.
Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve Champagne
Fresh brioche and roasted nuts open with mango, apricot and mirabelle plum. The palate is generous but lively, bringing creamy nougat, cherry and plum into balance with bright citrus and fine bubbles. A high proportion of reserve wine adds depth without weighing down the texture. The finish is long and mouthwatering, leaving toast, almond, dried fruit and a gentle note of ginger.
Billecart-Salmon NV Brut Réserve Champagne Magnum
Luminous pale gold, with steady effervescence and a generous, persistent mousse. Clean aromas of orchard fruit and white blossom open first, followed by ripe pear, lemon and subtle biscuit. The palate brings concentrated flavour with poised vinosity, gentle toast and a polished texture. Freshness and minerality carry the long, composed finish. Serve with crab, oysters or delicate white fish.
Nicolas Maillart 2012 Premier Cru Brut Millésimé Champagne
Dom Pérignon 1996 Plénitude 2 Rosé Champagne
Malt, nectarine and wild strawberry open into smoky, peaty depth, with dried rose, citron, saffron and a touch of vanilla spice. The palate is radiant and energetic, balancing ripe red fruit with fine bubbles and firm mineral tension. Toasted nuttiness and savoury complexity carry a long, precise, gently spicy finish.
Champagne P. Lancelot-Royer 2013 Grand Cru Millésimé Blanc de Blancs Brut
Toasted apple, honeysuckle and white flowers rise over warm brioche. The palate is smooth and mature, with generous orchard fruit held taut by vivid tension and clean mineral cut. Extended lees ageing brings depth without dulling the energy, carrying the fine mousse into a long, silky and composed finish.
Piper-Heidsieck Cuvee Brut NV Champagne
White peach, pear and fresh citrus lead into orange blossom, toasted bread and a quiet almond note. The palate is crisp yet creamy, with a fine mousse and enough freshness to keep the ripe fruit precise. Subtle mint and toast carry the balanced finish. A polished aperitif, and equally comfortable with shellfish, fried chicken or triple-cream cheese.
