Berrys' United Kingdom Cuvée, Blanc de Blancs, Grand Cru, Le Mesnil

If you're looking for especially good-value champagne, there's a handful to be found on supermarket and independent wine merchant shelves that will benefit from ageing. Berry's United Kingdom Cuvée, Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru, E Mesnil offers a riot of textured, yeasty, honeycomb flavours.

Under the gifted management of Gilles Marguet, Le Mesnil is making stunning and generously priced Grand Cru Chardonnay Champagnes. With an unrivalled provenance and over two years bottle ageing, the wine has a generous floral nose, a deliciously refreshing yet rich palate and a clean satisfying finish.The aperitif of choice chez moi, this Champagne is an absolute winner every time!
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)


Sourced from Grand Cru vineyards, this Chardonnay has elegant, white flower characters with some richness from the yeast contact. Beautifully balanced on the palate with crisp acidity and a purity of fruit.
