Frerejean Frères, Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut NV
"One of the ultimate Blanc de Blancs on the market" Richard Juhlin A stunning champagne that is sure to delight: sweet and buttery flavours are balanced with refreshing green apple and hints of grapefruit. It was a real showstopper at its debut tasting in London and has continued its legacy as a firm favourite. Made from 100% Chardonnay, this Blanc de Blancs has a satin texture with a plumper mouthfeel and slightly richer level of sweetness (whilst still being well within the Brut level). Only 3,000 bottles of this are made each year, each one a joy. "Super silky and loaded with orchard fruits, alongside some toasty brioche notes from extended lees aging. A very elegant, excellent value Blanc de Blancs!" Luke, Wine Guru Smoked salmon blinis, a dollop of sour cream and some dill. Simple and delicious.
Taittinger Prestige Rose Champagne
Taittinger Prestige Rosé is a vibrant and elegant Champagne that immediately stands out for its intense, shimmering pink hue. Crafted as a blend with 15% still red wine from the best Pinot Noirs of Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys, combined with 30% Chardonnay, this Champagne offers unmistakable colour and vibrant intensity on the palate, balanced by the elegance and delicacy that underpin Taittinger's signature style. Why You'll Love It This is Rosé Champagne at its finest—lively, fruity, fresh and elegant. Unlike many rosé Champagnes, Taittinger Prestige Rosé is produced using the more complex and costly blending method, adding still red wine from the finest Pinot Noir vineyards to create its distinctive colour and intensity. The high proportion of Chardonnay brings the elegance and finesse that Taittinger is renowned for, resulting in a Champagne that strikes a perfect balance between vibrant fruit character and refined sophistication. Vineyard & Production A blend of 15% still red wine produced from the best Pinot Noirs from Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys, combined with 30% Chardonnay and other grape varieties. The still red wine is added to the final blend to give this cuvée its unmistakable colour and vibrant intensity on the palate, while the Chardonnay brings elegance and delicacy. This blending method is more complex and costly to produce than other rosé Champagne techniques. Tasting Notes This elegant Champagne displays an intense and brilliant bright pink colour with fine bubbles and persistent mousse. The nose is full, wonderfully expressive, both fresh and young, giving off aromas of red fruits including freshly crushed wild raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant. The palate strikes a fine balance of velvet texture and full body, with flavours reminiscent of fresh, crisp red fruits. The finish is lively, fruity, fresh and elegant. Perfect Pairings A versatile Champagne that can be enjoyed both early on and at the end of an evening. Deliciously fragranced
