Floral softness to the gritty minerality that typically charactrises Dom Perignon champagnes. Expressions of candied fruit, plant life and exquisite leaf freshness. Plunges into darkness, spices and liquorice root.

The 2009 Cristal is stunning, with incredible richness as well as elegance. A rough blend of 60/40 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from estate vineyards, it has a toasty, yet pure bouquet of stone fruits and toasted bread, perfectly balanced and will be a wonderful edition to any cellar.

There's power to this vivid rose Champagne, harnessed by a silky texture and a sense of finesse. Mineral-driven, with a rich, smoky underpinning, this offers an expansive palate of pureed raspberry and apricot preserves.

Perrier Jouet Champagne since 1918, has maintained a creative spirit and quest for perfection. Great Champagne houses call on creativity and innovation, but must also protect what's theirs.

La Grande Dame is quite simply unforgettable, and epitomizes the Veuve Clicquot style. The Wine's rich, golden colour is accentuated by a fine and delicate effervescence. In the mouth, it reveals generous fruit notes and a dense, silky texture. The perfect balance of freshness and strength. With a pure, lingering, seemingly endless finish.

The prestige cuv̩e from this producer, this has richness and a dense texture that brings out the ripe fruits. From a good, if not great, vintage, it is beautifully balanced, still young to taste and likely to age well. Drink now for the fruit or wait until 2018 for more maturity.
