Frerejean Frères, VV26 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut NV
Frerejean Frères brings precision and elegance to their VV26 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs, a pure Chardonnay expression from the chalk slopes of Champagne's most prestigious villages. This is Champagne that speaks of place rather than producer ego - all citrus tension and mineral backbone, with the kind of fine mousse that makes you pause mid-conversation. Based on 2012 with 2008 and 2009 as reserve wines, this is a gastronomic tour de force, with breadth, depth and terrific length, complexity and harmony, and capacity for longer-term cellaring (though it is GORGEOUS right now).
Moët & Chandon, Grand Vintage Mixed case, , 2002, 1992 2012
These cases were released by Moët in 2021 hence are in perfect condition, still lying under bond with us and containing 1 bottle of each of the 2012, 2002 and 1992 vintages. They are three of the very finest Champagne vintages of their respective decades with the extra benefit of a two years’ further bottle age in our bonded warehouse. To buy these separately would set you back just shy of £400 by the time the bottles reach the table, whereas we can offer you these cases at under £320 duty and VAT paid– and that is with the impeccable provenance too. Each offers a different experience in terms of maturity and a fantastic way to try the ‘same’ wine side by side from three different eras. I know when I visited Moët a few years back, we had a similar tasting, and it really was quite remarkable – I’ve got to admit, I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did! Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru This is a wine which had a remarkable ability to age – Decanters huge 97 point score of the 1992 shows just that. It also won Gold in the Decanter Champagne awards that year too after spending no less than 14 years on the lees!
