More Information


  • ABOUT THIS WINE: A very special Champagne made entirely from Chardonnay grapes grown in the prestigious "grand cru" villages of the Côte des Blancs in the Champagne region of north-east France. Such "blanc de blancs" champagnes have a particularly creamy, fine character. This example was made in the excellent 1996 vintage. The winemaker was the highly experienced Alain Coharde Champagne.

    SERVING: Serve lightly chilled. This is the perfect champagne for a special occasion, either enjoyed on its own or matched with seafood and fish in creamy sauces.

    KEEPING: This wine has been matured in its bottle and is released ready to drink. However, it will evolve well, softening, and mellowing over the next five years.

    Licensing Act 2003: It is an offence for any person under 18 years to buy or attempt to buy alcohol

Gorgeous. Had it on Christmas Eve as a special treat. I couldn't taste the difference between this and a bottle of Cristal my cousin brought round (he's always been flash!)
