Champagne Pommery Cuvee Louise Brut 2005
' Housed in a breath-taking art nouveau villa in Reims with sprawling chalk cellars, Champagne Pommery have always taken a unique and individualistic approach to the world's foremost sparkling wine. When Madame Pommery took the helm in 1865, she commissioned the building of what was possibly France's greatest architectural project since Versailles. An anglophile at heart, Madame Pommery also set out to create a Champagne in tune with drier styles preferred by the English, who were, and remain, some of the world's most prolific consumers of Champagne. In doing this, she is credited with pioneering the Brut style of Champagne that is now the most popular style on the market. A few years ago, Pommery demonstrated that they are still true firebrands and pioneers, purchasing vineyard land in Hampshire, England and launching Louis Pommery England Brut, the first commercial English Sparkling Wine to be made by a Champagne house.

Dom Ruinart, Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 2010
The very first champagne house, Ruinart, was founded 290 years ago. With a rich and complex history, the Maison has never stopped developing and promoting its own special art of living. Ruinart's Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is 100% Chardonnay from various years, 20 to 25% of which are reserve wines from the 2 previous years. A large majority of Premiers Crus from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims vineyards for aromatic refinement, supplemented by Sézannais wines known to provide maturity. Finally, several wines from the north of the Vesle valley gives it a light, fresh touch. The 2010 Blanc de Blancs is a perfect champagne for aperitifs, particularly in spring and summer. It is an excellent complement to seafood and shellfish and would be lovely with a sea bass or bream tartare.
