PHILIPPONNAT Brut Royale Reserve N.V. Bottle
£29.95
Drawing on the historic tradition of Philipponnat in the region of Ay and Mareuil-sur-Ay,
Royale Réserve takes advantage of the rich and powerful Pinot Noir grapes from the southern
side of the Montagne de Reims, which always makes up the majority of the blend.
With three years' ageing, Royale Réserve is quite sufficiently mature, yet remains crisp and
therefore is a perfect aperitif. Its vinosity also makes excellent matches with white meat, cold
cuts, poultry and fish.
RUINART 'Blanc de Blancs' N.V Bottle

Discovering Ruinart is an entry into the universe of the oldest Champagne House. A House
which, since 1729, has created its cuvées in the same exacting spirit of purity, luminosity and
elegance... characteristic of the Ruinart taste.
Blend: Chardonnay (100%) Luminous pale gold colour, with fine, light bubbles that rise in a
delicate, long-lasting line. On the nose there is fresh fruit (mostly citrus) combined with
aromas of white flowers & white fruits (peach). This is a very attractive Blanc de Blancs, pure
distinct & clear-cut. Evolves in the mouth, fluctuating between freshness, suppleness &
fulness. Delightful with seafood, grilled sole or sashimi with white fish.

£36.95
We are delighted to have Ruinart Champagne available at Dunell's. Discovering Ruinart is an

characteristic of the Ruinart taste.
The R de Ruinart range is made up of a skillful blend of wines made from the Chardonnay and
Pinot Noir grapes. "R" de Ruinart is a golden, lively, fruity champagne with the subtle aroma
of white fruits which make it an excellent aperitif or the ideal accompaniment for a meal at
which champagne is the only wine served. Perfectly balanced, fresh. Extremely long finish. The
full extent of its aromas will be brought out by a subtle, sophisticated dish such as lightly
sautéed scallops or sole meurniere.

VEUVE CLICQUOT Brut 'Yellow Label' N.V. Bottle
£31.95
The dominance of Pinot Noir gives this wine the strong structure typical of the 'House
Champagne', while a slight touch of Pinot Meunier adds roundness. Chardonnay gives it the
elegance and finesse it needs for perfect balance. The use of reserve wines which have been
stocked year by year is one of the secrets of the 'Carte Jaune' production and it is well
appreciated by wine connoisseurs. Excellent as an aperitif because of its finesse, freshness
and length. Full-bodied, it goes well with freshwater fish and delicate sea fish.
VEUVE CLICQUOT Demi-Sec 'White Label' N.V. Bottle
£31.95
This Demi-Sec is blended largely from Pinot Noir with Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier as well as
reserve wines. The liqueur d'expédition carefully prepared and dosed with 45 g per litre, gives
it a sweeter yet still very fresh harmony. It is at its best when served with desserts. You could
even serve it in a carafe, not to decant it but to admire the colour and the delicate bubbles of
this elegant wine.
Non-Vintage Rose
G.H. MUMM Brut 'Cordon Rose' N.V. Bottle
£31.95
This is a complex, fresh, yet powerful blend in which the Pinot Noir stands out. At 60% of the
blend it not only colour, but also strength and personality. Pinot Meunier (18%) contributes all
its liveliness and fruitiness, whilst the finesse and elegance of the Chardonnay (22%) gives this
its final balance. The nose has rich, intense aromas in which red fruit characteristics stand out
- the slight presence of caramel and vanilla are a reminder of the Cordon Rouge influence. On
the palate the attack is lively and perfectly balanced, reflecting the strong personality of the
Pinot Noir; flavours of strawberry, redcurrants and toast come to the fore, whilst the finish is
dry and refreshing.Try with salmon and brown bread for a bit of a cliché, though Eton Mess
and boudoir biscuits would be a kinky combination also...?
GALLIMARD Brut Rose N.V. Bottle
£24.95
Didier Gallimard owns 10 hectares of prime vineyard on the steep slopes around Les Riceys in
the Southern Aube. His vines average 20 year’s old and the vineyards which are of chalk and
limestone are planted to 100% Pinot Noir. His wines are full, rich and offer enticing aromas and

LAURENT PERRIER Brut Rose N.V. Bottle
£49.95
An immensely successful Champagne - big and vinous. Made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from
this champagne gets its glorious pink colour and rounded red fruit flavours from a process
known as 'saignee' in which the skins of the grapes are left in contact with the juice for three
days. Laurent-Perrier`s Cuvee Rose not only makes a delicious aperitif but is also a good match
for a variety of different dishes, particularly puddings.
This champagne has a superb raspberry colour with orange and copper highlights and the
bubbles are fine and lively. Essentially a fruity style with aromas of gooseberries, raspberries,
red apples, cherries and wild strawberries. Some mineral/chalky notes mingle with subtle
hints of brioche. A lively, fresh attack.

Non-Vintage Rose
MOET & CHANDON Brut Rose 'Imperiale' N.V. Bottle
£39.95
Rosé Impérial is the most extrovert and seductive expression of the Moët & Chandon style.
Lively and generous, Rosé Impérial distinguishes itself by a radiant colour, an intense fruitiness
and flamboyance on the palate, that instantly seduce and delight. Rosé Impérial's assemblage
is built on the intensity of Pinot Noir (40 to 50%, 10% of which are red wine), the fruitiness of
Pinot Meunier (30 to 40%, 10% of which are red wine) and the finesse of Chardonnay (10 to
20%). The aromas are intense and irresistible, a lively bouquet of fresh red summer berries
(strawberry, raspberry and red currant) with floral nuances (rose, hawthorn) and a light
peppery touch. Recommend with grilled shellfish, red-fleshed fish in a thin-sliced carpaccio,
grilled or pan-seared, red meat (raw to lightly cooked) in a light sauce, delicious, sun-ripened
vegetables and fresh red berries.
PERRIER-JOUET Blason Rose Brut N.V. Bottle
£46.95
The intense, luminous colour is salmon-pink with coppery highlights. The abundant
effervescence forms a fine, steady stream of bubbles. Elegant aromas of raspberries, wild
strawberries and rose petals, the aromatic richness is reflected in a full, powerful, melting
flavour which creates an impression of silk. Finally, hints of red fruits and tender flavours of
citrus provide a pleasant freshness.
The refined presentation of the bottle is in complete harmony with the delicate pink tint of
the champagne, obtained by adding a small quantity of carefully selected red wine from
Champagne.
PHILIPPONNAT Brut Rose Reserve N.V. Bottle
£36.95
A non-vintage wine like the Royale Réserve, Réserve Rosée abides by the historic tradition of
style at the House of Philipponnat. The majority of the blend comprises the rich and powerful
grapes from the beautiful vineyards of Montagne de Reims in Ay and Mareuil-sur-Ay and its
three year ageing process gives it a pleasant complexity without taking anything away from
its freshness.
This fine rosé is dry yet fruity with hints of strawberries, red currants, and candied mandarin.

desserts made with red berries, or simply on its own.

elegance... characteristic of the Ruinart taste. Ruinart Rosé displays a sublime golden pink
colour with a touch of coral, accompanied with extremely fine bubbles that rise to the top of
the glass in a thin, firm line. The nose is fine, subtle and fresh, dominated by aromas of cherry
and freshly picked berries. On the palate it is well balanced, fruity and fresh. This champagne

soup as a dessert!
