• THE CHAMPAGNE & WINE COLLECTION •<br />
Without doubt the most prestigious and iconic sparkling wine<br />
in the world, Champagne has graced the tables and salons of<br />
Kings and Queens, Tsars and Emperors, and one certain Prime<br />
Minister who apparently drank two bottles a day.<br />
Only ever made in the Champagne region, the northernmost<br />
wine growing region of France, it was originally produced<br />
as a still wine. In fact, until the Eighteenth Century the<br />
Champagnoise considered bubbles to be a fault and did all<br />
they could to keep the fizz out, not least because the bottles<br />
kept exploding due to the internal pressure. It was only<br />
when English glassmakers created a technique for making<br />
bottles that could withstand this internal pressure that the<br />
Champagne industry as we know it, began.<br />
The ultimate celebration wine, Champagne is also<br />
remarkably good with food. It’s perfect with shellfish, roast<br />
chicken, or anything deep fried. In fact, one of my all-time<br />
favourite wine and food pairings is Champagne and ‘chip<br />
shop’ Fish and Chips. Try it.<br />
As a lover of Champagne, it’s difficult to pick out a favourite,<br />
but I personally have a soft spot for Pommery. I’m also<br />
always pleasantly surprised by just how good our own house<br />
Champagne, Jules Feraud is; light and fresh, but with just<br />
enough biscuity richness to add real complexity.<br />

cuvées each year, around 100,000 bottles.<br />
