Mercier
11082 Mercier Brut NV 75cl 27.38
Owned by giant Champagne House Moët & Chandon, Mercier is the brand leader in France. The style of this popular Champagne is quite different from
that of its ‘big brother’. The fuller, fatter style reflects the predominance of black grapes in the cuvée.
11083 Mercier Brut Rosé
60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay. A fresh, highly approachable wine, full-bodied and with a soft, rounded finish.
NV 75cl 30.57
Moët & Chandon
11085 Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial NV 75cl 37.01
11129 Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial NV 37.5cl 20.79
11146 Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial (Mini-Moët) NV 20cl 12.03
19493 Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial NV 150cl 79.73
The brand leader and justifiably so, with remarkable consistency of quality despite huge sales. Classically, a third each of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and
Chardonnay and matured for at least three years in bottle which helps give the wine its typical biscuity flavour.
11101 Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial NV 75cl 44.91
11782 Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial (Mini-Moët Rosé) NV 20cl 14.23
Made using 90% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes and 10% Chardonnay. A wonderfully fresh, floral style, perfect for drinking on its own. The first
major rosé brand to be available in quarter-bottles.
11084 Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Brut 2004 75cl 49.82
Made from a blend of 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier. A wine that offers the Champagne aficionado one of the best bargains
in the vintage Champagne market today.
Veuve Clicquot
11088 Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut NV 75cl 42.09
Well-known for both its full-bodied, biscuity style and its consistency, the success of this famous brand continues to grow and grow. A black grape
dominated blend, using 70% Pinot Noir and Meunier together with 30% Chardonnay.
19602 Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé NV 75cl 50.90
Credited as the first house to produce a rosé Champagne, a house speciality since 1775. Lovely Pinot dominated blend with a summer-fruit character.
11095 Veuve Clicquot Vintage Réserve Brut 2004 75cl 54.19
Fuller in style than Yellow Label; the blend is 67% Pinot Noir and 33% Chardonnay, all from Premier Cru vineyards. Only made in the best years when
the quality reaches the demanding standards set by this great house.

Ruinart
20846 R de Ruinart Brut NV 75cl 43.13
24964 R de Ruinart Brut NV 37.5cl 25.49
From a Champagne house with a long and distinguished history dating back to 1729, making it the oldest still producing wine. Made from a blend
of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, reserve wines making up 25% of the blend, the palate is rich and creamy with a touch of butterscotch,
brioche, white fleshed pear and aromas of white flowers.
17116 Ruinart Blanc de Blanc NV 75cl 54.94
23082 Ruinart Blanc de Blanc NV 37.5cl 25.08
Luminous pale gold with fine, light long-lasting bubbles. Elegant, reflecting fresh citrus fruits, white flowers and peach on the nose, evolves in the
mouth, fluctuating between freshness, suppleness and fullness.
22912 Ruinart Rosé NV 75cl 54.94
23081 Ruinart Rosé NV 37.5cl 25.14
A blend of 45% Chardonnay and 55% Pinot Noir;19% of which is vinified red and gives this rosé a golden pink colour with a touch of coral. Shows
aromas of cherry and red-berries on the nose; the palate is well-balanced with vibrant fruit.
Dom Pérignon
11075 Dom Pérignon Brut 2003 75cl 122.82
26932 Dom Pérignon Brut 2002 150cl 345.68
A fitting tribute to the genius of the monk from Hautvillers who carried out much research to improve the quality of Champagne. Roughly equal proportions
of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are blended by modern-day genius, Richard Geoffroy, Moët & Chandon’s Chief Winemaker, and then left to mature for
seven years prior to release. The 2002 was only the third Champagne to receive 20/20 from Jancis Robinson and Robert Parker marked it 96/100.
The summer of 2003 was the hottest for 53 years and produced an atypical wine; rich, powerful and vinous, loaded with fruit, structure and personality.
25043 Dom Pérignon Brut Rosé 2000 75cl 260.16
An incredibly rare wine that is considered by Chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy as the ‘ultimate expression of our expertise’. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir
and Chardonnay selected from the Grand Cru vineyards of Aÿ, Verzenay and Bouzy. Only released after a minimum nine years in bottle.
Krug
11115 Krug Grande Cuvée Brut NV 75cl 127.42
19734 Krug Grande Cuvée Brut NV 150cl 349.46
Krug remains at the very summit of the Champagne-making art, each year producing outstanding wines with no concession to commercial pressures. It is
a heavily Pinot-dominated blend, still using wines fermented in oak barrels, bottle-aged for six years and contains up to 35% of reserve wines. Krug prefer
to look on this wine as a ‘multi-vintage’ blend, with wines coming from between on average eight vintage years, with the complexity this suggests rather
than a ‘mere’ non-vintage.
11097 Krug Brut 1998 75cl 196.07
Made to their time-honoured, uncompromising standards, an amazing Champagne: very rich, with notes of pastry dough, toast, nuts, white fleshy fruit
such as peach, pears and apples. Honeyed finish with more than a hint of lemon tart, incredible length and complexity.
17006 Krug Brut Rosé NV 75cl 265.73
A superb, perhaps even the best rosé Champagne. Raspberry, cherry and cranberry fruit alongside floral and warm bready notes on the nose;
strawberry, orange peel and mineral hints on a lush, silky textured palate. Brilliant finish the complexity enhanced with citrus and baked fruit notes.
Very limited availability.
