Champagne

Probably the best family-owned champagne house, this is right up my street. Full bodied and toasty, yet with balancing citrus flavours and apple peel. A standard celebration bottle chez-moi.

The perfect size for more intimate occasions (or before you open a bigger bottle!)

The perfect size bottle for a real celebration. Remember: always think big!

Named for the founder of Billecart, this is possibly the best value vintage champers out there. My birthday's the 18th August, if you were wondering.

A touch sweeter than the Brut Reserve, this is a rich & creamy style of champagne. It's the perfect fizz for finishing off a meal or to accompany desserts such as fresh fruit salad.

A fabulously fresh champagne made from 100% Chardonnay. Lots of honeysuckle, green apple and pear flavours, this has all the trademark class and elegance of Billecart Salmon. Try with fish & chips, you'll be amazed.

Classy, elegant and absolutely fabulous!

A delicate and subtle rose. Light pink in colour with hints of wild strawberries & cherries, a champagne with real style.

Mini bottle which is just perfect as a stocking filler, or to get your night off to a great start!

Fresh, citrussy style of Grower Champagne at a fantastic price.

Another triumph for Jacquesson, this is a sublime wine. This is made from Grand Cru vineyards in Avize and is true to their characteristic style: rich, full-bodied and harmonious! Well worth the money.

Jacquesson is a Grower Champagne producer making some extremely high quality wines. This is their current non-vintage, No 733. There is very little dosage added so this wine is pretty dry and deliciously rich. A must try.

Does this Champagne need any introduction? Well if it does... it's exactly my style of wine. Generous and rich with a toastiness on the finish, this is the most illustrious non-vintage Champagne you can buy. Unforgettable.

Although it looks a bit like Irn Bru in this picture, this champagne is actually very elegant! Mostly from Grand Cru vineyards with only a small proportion of premier cru fruit. Very good value (if such a thing exists in Champagne!)

Named after the monk who 'discovered' the Champagne method, this is a legend in its own lifetime - the essence of elegance and class.
