One of the most northern wine producing regions in the world, Champagne is located 90 miles north-east of Paris with 34,000 hectares of vines. Surrounding the Champagne hubs of Epernay and

Reims, the region produces around a million bottles of Champagne a day.

A technique said to have been invented by Dom Pérignon in 1688, Champagne is made using the

traditional method whereby a second fermentation is induced in the bottle, producing CO2 which becomes

trapped, resulting in a sparkling wine. Champagne style wines are now replicated all over the world.

These premium wines are usually made from a blend of grapes: Chardonnay to add fruit and elegance;

the red grapes, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, for body and backbone.

CHAMPAGNE

CHAMPAGNEBILLECART-SALMONStill family run, the small house of Billecart-Salmon offers a range of black-grape-dominated Champagnes with bright, complex fruit flavours resulting from a long, slow, cool fermentation process. Particularly well known for its elegant Rosé, Billecart-Salmon is a Champagne house for wine lovers: many who discover it drink few other Champagnes thereafter.

Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé NV €51.00

BOLLINGERBollinger has been making classic, Pinot-dominated Champagnes with great ageing potential and complexity since 1829. The house style is deliberately oxidative with much of the wine (all of the vintage and reserve wines, and a high proportion of Special Cuvée) being fermented in old oak barrels, resulting in rich toast, apple and spice flavours. A proportion of the reserve wines are aged in magnums under cork keeping the aromas and flavours fresh and helping to make Special Cuvée one of the most complex Non-Vintage Champagnes around.

ARMAND DE BRIGNACArmand de Brignac is a range of prestige cuvée Champagnes produced since 2006 by the Cattier family who have been making wine for over 250 years. Colloquially know as ‘Ace of Spades’ after the label design on the distinctive metal-covered bottles, this Champagne is a blend of 3 different vintages. It is soft and fruity in style with added complexity from the dosage, the base wine for which is aged for one year in new French oak.

“Pale yet intense pink in color, the Billecart-Salmon NV Brut Rosé is pure,

fresh and intense on the nose, with lovely raspberry aromas, refreshing

citrus zest flavors and great definition. On the palate this is a pure, light and

vinous rosé with great finesse and a long, well-structured and even juicy

finish. Fabulous.”

BollingerLa Grande Année

2008

97+ptsThe Wine Advocate

“Aromas of crisp orchard fruit, ripe lemons, honeycomb, warm biscuits,

dried white flowers and a delicate top note of walnuts and fino sherry. On the

palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad and vinous, with a beautifully refined mousse, superb concentration at the

tightly wound core, incisive acids and a supremely elegant intermingling of

Bollinger’s oxidative stylistic signatures with fresh, vibrant fruit. The finish is

long, precise and chalky.”


CHAMPAGNECHAMPAGNE

LAURENT-PERRIERChardonnay forms the core of most of Laurent-Perrier’s cuvées giving the wines a fresh, elegant style. The exception to this is their Cuvée Rosé, for which the house is best known. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, it is unusual in that it is made by the tricky ‘saignée’ method. This is the technique by which the pink colour is obtained through maceration of the skins rather than the addition of red wine (the way most rosé Champagnes are made) and gives Laurent-Perrier Rosé its remarkable flavour.

MOET & CHANDONCreating a true slice of Champagne, Moët & Chandon brings the characteristics of all three varieties, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, into their blends. The wines are vinified non-oxidatively in stainless steel and undergo malolactic fermentation, giving them a soft, light, approachable style with a universal appeal that has made Moët & Chandon the world’s most popular Champagne.

LOUIS ROEDERERMost famous for their prestige cuvée Cristal which was first created in 1876 for the Tsar of Russia, Alexander II, the house of Louis Roederer is known for the sheer quality and style of their wines across the range. Roederer is the largest owner of organically-farmed (and increasingly, biodynamically-farmed) vineyards in Champagne. The wines are distinguished by their superb balance, finesse and elegance and their fine, creamy mousse.

DOM PERIGNONDom Pérignon, owned by Moët & Chandon, is an exclusively vintage prestige cuvée Champagne. It is made from roughly equal quantities (varying slightly according to the vintage) of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, grown only in the best vineyard sites in Champagne. During production, the wine sees no oak and is protected from oxidation as much as possible making it one of Champagne’s most reductive, minerally styles with an overarching elegance, harmony and completeness. It is one of the most classic, famous, and eye-catching of all wines and consistently tastes as good as its reputation suggests it will.

CHARLES HEIDSIECKCharles Heidsieck founded his eponymous Champagne house in 1851 at the age of 29.

HENRIOTFounded in 1808, Henriot is one of the few remaining independent Champagne houses having been owned and managed by the same family for more than eight generations.

KRUGKrug is the only Champagne house to have created a prestige cuvée every year since it was founded in 1843. The house’s flagship wine, Grande Cuvée, typically contains 35-50% reserve wines chosen from an extensive library of 150 different wines across more than 10 vintages. With fermentation in neutral oak barrels and ageing on the lees well beyond the legal minimum, the wines have incredible depth, richness and complexity and a unique personality all of their own.

“Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper give the 2008 its

chiseled, bright profile. Several recent bottles have all been magnificent.

What I admire most about the 2008 is the way it shows all the focus,

translucence and energy that is such a signature of the year, and yet it is also

remarkably deep and vertical. In other words, the 2008 is a Champagne that

plays in three dimensions.”

“Seamlessly knit, with vibrant, citrusy acidity and a satiny, creamy mousse layered with poached peach, pastry

cream, mineral and crushed hazelnut flavors that expand through the

midpalate and the zesty, spiced finish.”

Krug Vintage2002


“Opens with a generous, intense yet fine and precise bouquet that

indicates great depth and elegance. Red fruit flavors on the nose lead

to a generously rich yet pure, highly refined and elegant palate, with lots of

ripe cherry fruits and delicious yeasty flavors. This is a highly complex and tensioned but beautifully balanced

2002 with a charming dosage that gives perfect roundness.”

“The finest young Cristal in decades, the wine wafts from the glass with

a pure and vibrant bouquet of crisp orchard fruit, clear honey, warm

intense and incisive, with superb concentration, racy acids and a long,

searingly chalky finish.”

RUINARTRuinart is Champagne’s oldest house, with a history dating back to 1729. The Chardonnay grape is at the heart of all Ruinart’s wines giving them freshness and bright fruit aromas.

In minuscule amounts (30,000 bottles a year, if at all) from over 35-year-old vines in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (one of the greatest crus of the Côte des Blancs), Salon releases on average only about 3 times a decade.

Sparkling wine is arguably the most technical style of wine in the world. Not only do these wines have to undergo a first fermentation in order to make alcohol, but also a second

fermentation to produce the carbon dioxide giving the wine its fizz. This is done either in the same way as Champagne, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, or by using

the tank method where it takes place inside a sealed tank.

Produced all around the world, sparkling wine comes in a huge range of styles, from bone dry to

perfumed and floral.

Dom RuinartBlanc de Blancs

“ A striking, tightly-coiled wine, the 2007 Dom Ruinart will leave readers

weak at the knees. The citrus, slate, crushed rock, white pepper,

mint and floral notes really sizzle in this powerful, dramatically rich

Champagne, with bright saline notes that add freshness and vivacity to the striking finish. The 2007 is a stunning

Champagne by any measure.”

“This is among Ca’ del Bosco’s most affordable and accessible sparkling

wines. It offers steady consistency year after year. I’ve always loved

the bouquet of this wine. It shows a slightly spicy side that reminds me of

Christmas oranges nailed with cloves. In the mouth, the wine is lean and

crisp with fine and persistent perlage.”

Bisol CredeProsecco di

“A delightfully sharp and delineated wine with crisp citrus notes followed by white peach, Granny Smith apple

and tangy lime. The wine refreshes the palate just as soon as you take

your first sip. The mouthfeel is lean and streamlined, with lots of spicy

bubbling on the close. You get tremendous value here.”

Rosé is produced in a variety of styles around the world, although perhaps the best known are those from Provence. Not only is this France’s oldest wine region, having been making wine for over 2,600 years, but it is also the only one to focus on rosé.

It even has a research institute dedicated to the style. Dry, crisp and refreshing, these wines are a blend of regional varieties such as Grenache,

Carignan and Syrah.

France produces 7-8 billion bottles of wine every year, second only to Italy in terms of volume. A key part of French culture, with 27 billion hectolitres being drunk in France

annually, wine is produced throughout the country in every style.

France’s long-standing wine heritage gave birth to the appellation system, designed to preserve regional wine styles, which has been emulated all over Europe.

France is also the source of many international grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.

Protected by the Vosges Mountains, Alsace is one of the driest regions in France and due to its northern latitude has very long hours of sunshine during the growing season. This helps to ripen the grapes and produce some of the world’s finest white wines.

The wines from Alsace are produced from noble varieties such as Riesling, Pinot Gris and

Gewurztraminer and unlike elsewhere in France, here, the name of the grape must appear on the

label. The best vineyard sites have been given Grand Cru status.

Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is the source of the most majestic Grand Cru and Premier Cru wines in the world. The polar opposite of Bordeaux with its grand Châteaux, this is a complex region of smallholders with over 3,000 vineyard owners. 15 million cases are produced annually from 100 different appellations spanning 26,000 hectares.

With reds made from Pinot Noir and whites from Chardonnay, these wines are not only long lived, but are also some of the most exceptional on the market.

The region is split into 5 sub-regions: CHABLISCOTE DE NUITSCOTE DE BEAUNECOTE CHALONNAISEMACONNAIS

Chablis ButteauxFrançois Raveneau

2013


“The 2013 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux has a sensual nose with subtle

hazelnut, smoke and almost resinous scents, verging on Riesling scents, that

are beautifully defined. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with pleasing, mouth-watering salinity, easing back toward the finish with

Granny Smith apples and a healthy dash of lemongrass.”

Chablis VaudésirLouis Jadot

2015


“A well-defined and quite complex bouquet, with scents of yellow plum,

jasmine, flint and a touch of spice. The palate is well defined with a viscous

opening, quite tropical in style but redeemed by a lovely thread of acidity

and compelling purity on the finish. This is far superior to many Vaudésir

that I tasted, demonstrating persistency and class from start to finish.”

Corton-Charlemagne

Domaine Bonneaudu Martray

2011


“A mineral-driven bouquet – linear and taut, with slate and granite

aromas gradually unfurling in the glass. The palate is clean and fresh

with supremely well-judged acidity. Touches of apricot and mango lie in the background with the citrus

element playing the main role.”

92ptsVinous

“Bright, light yellow. Sexy scents of white peach, orange oil and subtle spices.

Supple and creamy but also fresh and firm, displaying a pliant, open-knit texture for the year but also lovely

freshness to its white peach fruit. Really spreads out on the back half, finishing

with building, palate-saturating length. This is wonderfully expressive today but

there’s more to come.”

Meursault CharmesDomaine

Comtes Lafon2014


“Subtle reduction on the nose with scents of dried quince complementing

the citrus fruit, walnut and smoke aromas. The palate is well balanced

with fine delineation, harmonious with notes of tangerine and orange zest, the oak nicely integrated with

appreciable weight on the finish. Very fine, very sophisticated.”

“Very ripe, inviting aromas of yellow peach, butter and clove. Wonderfully

rich, plush and sweet, but the ripe yellow peach fruit and creamy old-

vines texture are enlivened by mineral lift. Finishes tactile and very long, with

a strong impression of dry extract. A superb vintage for this consistently

excellent wine bottling.”

“Bright yellow. Aromas of pineapple, mirabelle and soft herbs, plus a whiff

of silex-like minerality. Round, rich and voluminous, with intense mid-palate

fruit and lovely perfume. Finishes long and aromatic, with superb mineral

lift. Wonderfully palate-staining 2010 white Burgundy.”

2017

93-95ptsThe Wine Advocate

“An impressive wine that unfurls in the glass with aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, pear, pastry cream and honeycomb. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and satiny, with

more concentration and cut than this year’s Bienvenues, with an elegant sense of completeness and a long, lively finish. This will be well worth

seeking out.”

Chevalier-MontrachetLa Cabotte

Bouchard Père & Fils2009

94ptsVinous

“Bright pale yellow. Steely aromas of apple, minerals and warm stone. Voluminous and powerful, with fat

flavors of pear, menthol, crushed stone and iodine. Most impressive

today on the very long, broad aftertaste, which saturates the palate with lemon and crushed stone. This boasts the sheer size and scale of a

Montrachet.”

Pouilly-FuisséClos des Prouges

Domaine Ferret2017


“The 2017 Pouilly-Fuissé Tête de Cru Clos des Prouges unwinds in the

glass with a delicate bouquet of crisp orchard fruits, honeycomb, almond

paste and fresh pastry. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, satiny and

mineral, with a firm, structured core that’s built around a bright girdle of

acidity and chalky structuring extract.”

Château LavilleHaut-Brion Blanc

2006


“An absolutely staggering vintage for this historic and tiny estate, this

2006 has a huge nose of tropical fruit, including pineapple, as well as a liqueur of minerality, with quince,

white citrus, and a hint of subtle toast. Full-bodied, with huge concentration,

an almost flinty mouthfeel, zesty acidity, and a monster finish, this is

a prodigious Laville Haut-Brion that needs about 10 years of cellaring and

should last 30 or more years.”

Aile d’ArgentBordeaux Blanc deMouton Rothschild

2017


“The 2017 Aile d’Argent has lovely white peaches, lemon curd and

beeswax notes with hints of orange peel, grapefruit and a touch of sage.

The palate is light to medium-bodied and bursting with exuberant stone

fruit and citrus flavors, with a racy line and a long, peachy finish.”

COTE DE NUITSThe Côte de Nuits is a 20km stretch forming the northern part of the Côte d’Or, Burgundy’s

‘golden slope’, and it is here that most of the world’s finest examples of Pinot Noir

are produced. Named after the region’s largest village, Nuits-Saint-Georges, 22 out of

Burgundy’s 23 red Grands Crus are located here, expressing a variety of styles. They tend

to be weightier and deeper coloured than the Pinots produced on the Côte de Beaune.

Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot and Nuits-Saints-Georges are known for their robust style of

wine, whilst Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée display finesse and elegance.

COTE DE BEAUNEDespite the Côte de Beaune being well-known for its white wines, there is actually more red

wine produced in the region. The Pinot Noirs from this southern half of the Côte d’Or show

softness and finesse with the best examples coming from Beaune, Pommard and Volnay as

well as the exceptionally powerful Grand Cru of Corton.

91-93ptsVinous

“A touch of musky reduction to the aromas of black raspberry, mocha

and game, with rose petal and peony notes providing lift. Wonderfully silky

and sweet; faintly gamey but still racy and delicate. Not an obviously

structured wine but boasts subtle sweetness and finishes with sneaky,

slowly mounting length.”

Clos de TartDomaine duClos de Tart

2017

96-98ptsVinous

“Mainly black fruit mixed with sous-bois, tobacco, clove and bay leaf, the typicité of the appellation

showing through nicely. The palate is beautifully balanced on the entry with

a killer line of acidity. Pure black cherry fruit is joined by bilberry, hints of

black olive and a marine/oyster shell tincture that comes through quite

strongly toward the persistent, saline finish, which fans out with confidence.”

Clos des LambraysDomaine des Lambrays

2015


“The 2015 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru continues to show very well, unfurling in the glass with a rich

bouquet of ripe plums, blackberries, dark chocolate and forest floor. On

the palate, it’s full-bodied, satiny and powerful, with an ample chassis of fine structuring tannins and a deep

core of fruit.”

Chambolle-Musigny1er Cru

Comte de Vogüé2008


“The 2008 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru (from young vines in Musigny) is a powerful, inward wine. There

is lovely depth to the fruit, but the wine remains tightly coiled at this

stage, even if occasional glimmers of richness emerge over time. Cloves,

cinnamon and a host of other spiced notes add complexity on the finish.

This is another superb, textured wine from de Vogue.”

Clos VougeotBouchard Père & Fils

2016


“It has quite a powerful bouquet with black cherries, bergamot, fresh

fig and raspberry preserve aromas all well defined. The palate is very

well balanced with sensual ripe tannin, good acidity, a little oak to

be assimilated on the finish but otherwise a classy Clos Vougeot that will rank alongside those from more

chichi, bijou names.”

“A bright and “perky” nose: Morello cherry and cranberry leaf scents

racing from the glass, all nicely defined and exuberant. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy, ripe red cherry and boysenberry fruit,

very fleshy and supply in the mouth, almost a “playful” Morgon that slips

down the throat a treat. Not an intellectual Morgon, but one that is

very well crafted.”

“Rich and spicy, this silky-textured red also boasts cherry and strawberry flavors. There are ample tannins, and the well-integrated oak shows a light

touch. Excellent length.”

“The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, moderate depth,

rounded in the mouth with layers of cranberry and strawberry fruit. There

is a pinch of sea salt right on the finish that shows fine precision and focus.

This is outstanding.”

PommardClos des Epeneaux

Comte Armand2015


“The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux is fabulous, wafting from the glass with notes of wild berries,

orange peel, cinnamon, rich soil and espresso. On the palate, the wine is

full-bodied, ample and layered, with a lovely line of bright acidity, fine-

grained tannins, sappy energy, and terrific depth and tension at the core.

This is a great Clos des Epeneaux from Paul Zinetti.”

BORDEAUX LEFT BANK

MEDOCHome to many of the biggest names in Bordeaux, the Médoc is the most famous red wine region in the world and includes the renowned appellations of St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux. Situated on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, the best vineyard sites are located on gravelly outcrops close to the river. The left bank is well suited to the production of Cabernet Sauvignon and the wines produced here will generally have this as the dominant grape in the blend.

ST ESTEPHEThis is the most northerly of the important communes of the Médoc. The wines here take on a rustic style due to the high proportion of clay in the soil. As a result they can seem austere in their youth, however they display good acidity and colour and are exceptionally long-lived.

PAUILLACConsidering that Pauillac is a small region of only 23km², three of the five First Growth Châteaux are located here – Château Latour, Château Lafite and Château Mouton Rothschild – with Grands Crus Classés representing 84% of the rest of the production. Fine, deep and gravelly soils mean that the vine roots reach a greater depth here than anywhere else in the Médoc. The resulting wines are intense and display great complexity.

ST JULIENSt Julien is the smallest of the well-known Médoc communes at only 700ha with a uniform style thanks to the gravelly soils. Despite having no First Growth properties, St Julien is considered to offer the most consistent wines across the board, with impressive offerings year after year.

MARGAUXThe largest commune in the Médoc, and home to First Growth Château Margaux, Margaux is famous for producing the most elegant and alluring wines of the Left Bank. With the lightest and most gravelly soils in the Médoc, the finest examples of Margaux are intensely perfumed whilst also subtle and refined.

PESSAC-LEOGNAN/GRAVESPessac-Léognan is a district within Graves that was created in 1986 due to pressure from the vignerons who wanted to disassociate themselves from growers further south in the commune where the soils are much sandier. Pessac-Léognan is home to Château Haut Brion, the only First Growth property outside of the Médoc.

RIGHT BANK

POMEROLPomerol is the smallest of the prestigious Bordeaux appellations with around only 150 producers and 740 hectares of vineyards. Demand and prices for these wines are high given that many of these are boutique growers making circa 1,000 cases a year. Pomerol is dominated by Merlot, producing rich and smooth wines, and features some iconic properties such as Château Pétrus.

ST EMILIONLocated on the right bank of the Dordogne, St Emilion is one of the most important Bordeaux appellations in terms of both quality and quantities produced. Merlot is the predominant grape variety and is perfectly suited to the clay and chalk-rich soils here. Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon are also grown. Given the high proportion of Merlot, these wines are much more approachable in youth than the more tannic examples produced on the left bank.

With 57 different appellations and 10,000 producers, Bordeaux is home to some of the world’s finest Châteaux, producing long-lasting wines of exceptional quality. 88% of the production of Bordeaux is red wine, or Claret as it is known in the UK, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Bordeaux is also the source of dry whites made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and some of the world’s longest-lived sweet wines from Sauternes.

The wines of the Bordeaux left bank were classified in 1855 and only five have attained First Growth status - Château Lafite, Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux and Château Haut Brion. Those Châteaux that made it into any of the five tiers of this classification will have Grand Cru Classé on the label.

Doubtless this is the reason why Calon-Ségur features a heart motif on its label, and throughout the exquisite château buildings.

“Readers looking for the more ethereal, elegant side of Bordeaux

“The 2000 Calon Segur is one of those wines that reminds you how great

here is beguiling and it just “sings” Saint Estèphe.”

“With coaxing, the nose is just beginning to offer glimpses at

vivacious kirsch, red roses, violets, licorice and mocha scents over a

crème de cassis, blackberry pie and chocolate-covered cherry core with

wafts of chargrill, mossy bark and truffles. Full-bodied, concentrated and

wonderfully complex in the mouth, the palate is just beginning to reveal

the true potential of this wine.”

CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILDChâteau Mouton Rothschild is the only Château to achieve reclassification since 1855 when the wines from Bordeaux were sorted into five tiers according to the prices they were fetching on the market at the time. This unique recategorisation took place in 1973 when Mouton Rothschild entered into the realm of the top five Châteaux (Premiers Grands Crus Classés). The bottles from this vineyard are famous not only for the powerful yet deceptively smooth wine inside, but also for the colourful labels brought out each year which are designed by a different artist for each vintage.
