The cheerful yellow label of Veuve Clicquot has come to represent affordable excellence in champagne, with the full, crisp flavours of its Pinot Noir-rich recipe lending assertive structure to a blend rounded and perfumed by the other two champagne grapes, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay.

‘Tightly knit, focused by racy acidity and a streak of minerality, this offers subtle notes of white peach, anise, biscuit and kumquat. The refined finish echoes a smoky note.’

1. Rated ‘#1 Champagne under $50’ by the Wall Street Journal.
2. Robert Parker / Wine Advocate, 90 points - 'Offers up layers of mineral-infused red fruits on a silky, mid-weight frame, with gorgeous length and a refined, subtle mousse. This impeccable, elegant wine shows terrific overall balance as well as complexity. I loved it!'

Clouet is made by a father-and-son team whose wine is cellared beneath their pretty, vine-covered, 17th century house in the Grand Cru village of Bouzy, in the Montagne de Reims. Jean-François Clouet, winemaker, is known for his fanatical devotion to quality. Young and full of ideas, he aspires to Bollinger in style and quality.
Thanks to an ancestral land grant from Napoleon, Jean-Francois has the privilege of working with some of the best-situated vines in the Bouzy sub-region.

Fragrant with toasty biscuit and brioche, lifted by citrus and floral notes. Zingy and elegant palate, with a crisp, lemony finish.
Delicious as an aperitif, or to complement lighter meals.

Situated in the heart of the Alt Penedès - a privileged subregion protected from the elements by two mountain ranges, 40 hectare Mas Codina is a boutique, family-owned company dating from 1681. It uses only estate-grown fruit.

This is a lovely champagne for any occasion. Generous, slightly spicy, floral aromas lead to a rich, velvet-smooth mouthful that, after just fifteen months' aging, remains appetizingly suggestive of tropical fruits, with just a few hints of secondary flavours. Tiny, densely packed bubbles last as long as even the most leisurely meal.

Bags of character and a very attractive price too.

We can't claim that Moët and Chandon are small artisan producers—the annual production of the house is getting on for thirty million bottles—but there's no denying that the brand is one of the most well known and most requested when it comes to champagne.

The fresh, generous style of the wine and the classic presentation of the bottle make the Brut Impérial a trusted choice. Pale straw gold in the glass, with vivacious green apple and citrus energy in the fine bubbles, this blend of the three champagne grapes combines floral charm and mineral finesse, with a reliable and lively palate of fresh fruit, hazelnuts and just-baked bread.

And, by the by, for those who prefer their Moët with tea as well as dinner, here's an article from Lucire, ‘the global fashion magazine' via Wikipedia, which tells us

Moët is pronounced with a "t" at the end (IPA: [moɛt]) ('mo-et') as the French-born founder's surname is of Dutch origin.

It's no wonder that prosecco is so popular, when it's as joyfully easy to enjoy as this aromatic example.

To accompany the fine fizz there are typical aromas of citrus fruit and spring flowers, and fresh, fruity flavours with hints of citrus and also of more tropical fruits. While the bubbles are soft and fine, there's brisk acidity too that keeps each mouthful appetizing and makes this an easy choice for all kinds of occasions and especially celebrations big or small.

Beautifully fragrant, rounded pink champagne with ripe notes of red fruits, almonds and toast. Rich and refreshing on the palate, with striking weight and pearly bubbles.

An indulgent champagne that can make any occasion special!

Legendary champagne from Moet and Chandon.

The name of this wine is written without an accent on 'Special' ever since Georges Bollinger’s British agent gave him the idea for the name in 1911.

This is a delicate harmony between harvest grapes and reserve wines that have been partially aged in magnums for between five and fifteen years.

There's a fine golden colour suggestive of a Pinot-rich champagne, and streams of very fine bubbles, with enticing aromatic complexity that brings together baked apples, peaches and fruit preserves. The flavours carried on the velvety bubbles range from fresh apple and pear juiciness to warm, subtly spicy nut and brioche notes, making this a sumptuous treat on any occasion—full-bodied, structured and long in the mouth, but at the same time discreet and refined.

This is an aromatic, joyously pink bubbly that makes a delicious change from Toni Garriga's impressive and inexpensive white cava reserva.

Subtle red fruit aromas from the pure Pinot Noir grapes meet lasting, fine effervescence in a celebratory glassful that has appealing berry flavours and enough body to make it an accommodating food wine.

Mas Codina is in the Alt Penedès, a subregion west of Barcelona and protected from the elements by two mountain ranges. The family-owned company grows its fruit and makes its wines on a estate dating from 1681. It bottles only estate-grown fruit.

With its gently spicy red fruit character, Bollinger Rosé is a luxurious accompaniment at afternoon tea, Bollinger-style.

There are few better choices for a special picnic on a summer afternoon, and it makes a wonderful aperitif as well as a great match for fresh fruit pastries and desserts.

Its rich, coppery pink colour is reflected in the depth of its fresh fruit flavours, which offer an enticing blend of structure, power and lively energy at the redcurrant and strawberry end of the taste spectrum. It's smooth, supple and irresistible.

From the Perrachon family's Chardonnay vineyards come the grapes for this sparkling wine, produced according to the traditions of the Crémant de Bourgogne appellation. Laurent makes the wine in his own cellars and then entrusts it to an 'elaborator', who takes care of the nine months of second fermentation before the finished wine is ready to be bottled.

This is a deliciously light and creamy style of sparkler that is—like the vast majority of champagnes—at its best in the freshness of youth.

The rosé cuvée from Veuve Clicquot, with expressive aromas of ripe strawberries and fresh, juicy red fruit.

The Veuve rosé has full body and plenty of structure, which give the length of flavour to make it a really satisfying food wine as well as a delicious and visually appealing aperitif.

It makes a fine partner for simply prepared dishes of fresh tuna or duck, and can carry on through to fresh fruit desserts and the cheese plate too.

Drier than the Meyers' blended Brut, this pure Pinot Noir bubbly is fruity and full-flavoured with cleansing acidity and streams of consistent, persistent bubbles giving a fine mousse to each glassful.

The red grapes reveal themselves in ripe fruit aromas, and there are also suggestions of rich, buttery pastries, making this a tempting proposition before even the first toast.

Generous fruit flavours are elegantly structured to give a satisfying but still delicate texture, and the long finish is fresh and refined.

Champagne Ruinart is the oldest established champagne house, dating back to its foundation by Benedictine monk Thierry Ruinart in 1729, and its wines are particularly renowned for their fresh, mineral Chardonnay influence.

Initial aromas of pear and russet apples expand to include hints of flowers, fresh nuts and a little spice. After a while, notes of brioche and biscuit lend depth to this aromatic intensity.

The ‘R’ is a balanced, full-bodied wine, with direct and vigorous fruit flavours and tiny, fine bubbles. There's a long finish characterized by elegant, energetic lightness.

It's a beauty all on its own, but if you are planning to serve yours with food, we'd suggest keeping it simple with delicate flavours and unfussy preparation.

There's a time and a place for champagne, but the same is true for all these delicious and ebullient alternatives, as you'll find out when you raise a glass of any of them.

We're delighted to offer really good bubbles that don't break the bank, and in any case four of these six wines are made by the 'traditional' method of secondary fermentation in the bottle, which is the technique used in Champagne and sometimes known as 'méthode champenoise'.

The two La Vieille Ferme wines cheekily describe their method of vinification as 'méthode contemporaine', but that's typical of the confident and breezy approach of a brand that is all about fun, reliability and authentic French winemaking.

All six wines in this bubble mix have their own appeal, and serve as a very attractive taster of our non-champagne styles.

Each half case contains one bottle each of the following:

A bright and breezy sparkler with the La Vieille Ferme touch.

The considerable know-how of the La Vieille Ferme brand is brought to the art of bubbles in a fine, fruity but dry sparkling wine just looking for an occasion to celebrate. Made from traditional southern French rosé varieties (with just a splash of Pinot Noir) it's festive at first glance and doesn't stop there.

Crisp, fruity and elegant with redcurrant zip and floral freshness, it's a perfect partner for canapés and starters that can carry on through the meal without skipping a beat.

Did somebody say picnic?

Delicate strings of tiny, lively bubbles and aromas of apples, pears, flowers and even a hint of the bakery. The long Alsatian growing season and late harvest ensure an exciting complexity in this blend of regional grapes transformed into bubbly by secondary fermentation in the bottle.

Dry and medium-bodied, the Meyers' Brut has flavours reminiscent of grapefruit, peach and quince with a pinch of spice. It's long and supple in the finish, with suggestions of honey from sip to sip.

A popular choice among our customers, this is a terrific wine for any kind of celebration. It also makes a fine accompaniment to light meals or a picnic where something special is called for.

The glowing pink has hints of amber here and there as your glass catches the light, and this is only the first of this affordable bubbly's many pleasures. There's an enticing bouquet of aromas reminiscent of red summer fruits at the peak of ripeness, with a racy, just-picked liveliness that suggests raspberries, cherries and those tiny, rare wild strawberries. And maybe a rose garden is somewhere in the picture, because there's a fresh tea and spice element too.

As you might expect, those red fruit aromas are carried through to the palate in flavours of redcurrants and raspberries, blended with the generosity and persistence of a perfect peach. This sparkling cocktail is garnished with just a sprig or two of mint, maybe borage, to complete an exhilarating champagne experience.

This was a revelation when we brought it to a staff Christmas dinner a while ago: we hadn't realized just how good it is. Now with deluxe presentation to do the contents justice, this is a first class champagne that recreates the oak-kissed style of an earlier age, and you should absolutely try it.

The twenty-four carat colour promises and delivers luxury all the way through this sumptuous, partly oaked blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay from small producer Marie Demets.

Aromatically, this wine is very different from the estate's other champagnes, with a mixed bouquet of heavy-scented peony, lilac and honey: a good preparation for a full-flavoured palate of ripe fruit, hazelnuts and vanilla – almost reminiscent of gingerbread thanks to partial fermentation of half the juice in Burgundian oak.

This is a deluxe champagne that can stand up easily to a special meal, and would make a particularly good match for fish or seafood.

This renowned, multi-vintage (six years) blend of Pinots Noir and Meunier, plus a little supporting Chardonnay, shows astonishing finesse, vibrancy and lightness of touch. Gorgeously rich, with an overt fruitiness and nutty, yeasty notes.

Beautiful with lobster or monkfish - or just savoured on its own.

Fashionable, bone-dry style of Champagne, noted for its cool precision, focus and linearity. Clean core of citrus and green fruits, with tingly acidity, a fine mousse and bracing freshness.
A unique, 'must try' Champagne!

Clouet is made by a father-and-son team whose wine is cellared beneath their pretty, vine-covered, 17th century house in the Grand Cru village of Bouzy, in the Montagne de Reims. Jean-François Clouet, winemaker, is known for his fanatical devotion to quality. Young and full of ideas, he aspires to Bollinger in style and quality.
Thanks to an ancestral land grant from Napoleon, Jean-Francois has the privilege of working with some of the best-situated vines in the Bouzy sub-region.

A magnum: what luxury, and what value when cava of this quality still does not attract the premium put on some other traditional-method wines. Fragrant with toasty biscuit and brioche, lifted by citrus and floral notes. Zingy and elegant palate, with a crisp, lemony finish. Delicious as an aperitif, or to complement lighter meals.

Situated in the heart of the Alt Penedès - a privileged subregion protected from the elements by two mountain ranges, 40 hectare Mas Codina is a boutique, family-owned company dating from 1681.

Antonio Galloni of the Wine Advocate first tweeted about Andre Clouet Cuvee Un Jour de 1911, propelling this low-key Champagne House into the spotlight - 'André Clouet 1911 ... absolutely majestic...like silk on the palate!'
A tiny 1,911 bottles of this multi-vintage Champagne, crafted from only the very top years, are produced annually, making a rare and very impressive gift.

Creamy and yeasty with ethereal scents of lime blossom, rose petal and jasmine - divine!

Italian wine law has changed.

There is now such a thing, officially, as rosé prosecco!

This is a fine, fresh and sophisticated wine that we're proud to add to our list. The new regulations mean that rosé prosecco must be a vintage millesimato wine, and can only be produced in the fully sparkling spumante style.

Years of experience and a move towards sustainable practices in the vines allowed the craftsmen at Louis Roederer to create this fresh, ripe vintage rosé by making the most of a growing season of widely differing kinds of weather.

There are intense, fruity aromas of redcurrants and strawberries, with a delicious brightness that takes on depths of warm spice and richer fruit as the wine evolves in the glass.

The same fresh fruit character introduces the generous red fruit density of the palate, juicy and ripe, which fills to an almost creamy texture that lingers into a breezy but balanced finish.

Rated ‘#1 Champagne under $50’ by the Wall Street Journal.

The André Clouet wines are cellared beneath the family's pretty, vine-covered 17th century house in the Grand Cru village of Bouzy, in the Montagne de Reims.

This is a lovely champagne for any occasion. Generous, slightly spicy, floral aromas lead to a rich, velvet-smooth mouthful that, after just fifteen months' aging, remains appetizingly suggestive of tropical fruits, with just a few hints of secondary flavours. Tiny, densely packed bubbles last as long as even the most leisurely meal.

Bags of character and a very attractive price too.

Delicate suggestions of tobacco, chocolate, mocha and coffee are followed by aromas of dried flowers and paeonies, and these evolve into notes of dried fruit and greengage jam.

In the mouth, the wine has a satisfying fullness and unmistakable density, bringing together flavours of fruit conserves and and honey before a long, fresh finish with tangerine and citrus vigour.

A vintage rosé is a rare treat, and this 2006 succeeds in its aim of expressing fully the unique identity of the vintage.

The year was so good, in fact, that Bollinger were able to make a one-of-a-kind red wine to show off the winery's skill and expertise with Pinot Noir.

Bollinger R(ecently) D(isgorged) is an 'extra brut' champagne, with a very low dosage and a consequent purity and dryness that shows off the exceptional quality of the vintage fruit.

The wine is aged for four times longer than the appellation requires, giving an extraordinary richness and depth to the original fruit flavours, transformed by time and oak ageing into luscious, sweetly spicy harmonies of preserved fruit and golden, concentrated fullness.

Bollinger recommend that this special cuvée be served at an initial temperature as low as 8°C so that all its modulations and subtleties can be appreciated as it warms to the temperature of the room.

The R.D. style recalls the custom among champagne houses of keeping old wines for their own consumption, disgorging them shortly before tasting to yield the perfect combination of absolute freshness with the rich aromatics of a mature wine.

Champagne Marie Demets, Cuvée Tradition Brut

This is a lovely champagne, easy to like and with the fruity charm of pure Pinot Noir. It's very fresh and spritzy with generous, slightly spicy, floral aromas leading to a rich, velvet-smooth mouthful.

Rumour has it that Jean-François Clouet exchanges some of his superlative Pinot Noir fruit for Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs in order to make the Dream Vintage series of champagnes.

Rumour has it further, that he draws inspiration for the colour of each successive label from the paint finishes of vintage Cadillacs.

What's unquestionably not a tall story is the outstanding deliciousness of this Blanc de Blancs champagne from a maestro of Pinot Noir. Fresh, bready notes and citrus-floral aromas prepare the palate for a beautifully balanced bubbly that displays typical Clouet fullness of flavour but at the same time all the lithe character of a pure Chardonnay champagne.

This is a delicious choice for all kinds of celebrations big and small, and brings together the established value of the La Vieille Ferme brand from the Perrin family with the fun and sparkle of a bubbly.

Lees-aged Chardonnay makes a light, lively fizz with floral and citrus character and hints of brioche—it's everything you need to create an instant party atmosphere with just a suggestion of luxury.
