Brut Champagne
Brut denotes a dry style of Champagne (less than 15 grams per litre). Most Champagne is non-vintage, produced from a blend from different years. The non-vintage blend is always based predominately on wines made from the current harvest, enriched with aged wines from earlier harvests, which impart an additional level of complexity to the end wine.

This is a classic apéritif Champagne. Deliciously light, crisp citrus and apple orchard flavours mingle with sundry red-berried fruit. It is beautifully plumped out in the middle, courtesy of Premier Cru Pinot Noir fruit from the evocatively named village of Dizy, ending with delicate toasty notes.

One of the first and the best of the biodynamic producers in Champagne, Fleury are based in the southern Aube region and are especially proud of this wonderfully refreshing and highly unusual 100% Pinot Blanc cuvée. Low dosage, low yields and highly individual, this is a hymn to purity and complexity. Notes of white flowers and ‘agrume’ cede gently to something little more exotic, broad and gently creamy, a fascination and eloquent testament to non-interventionist winemaking.

Bollinger was established in 1829 by Jacques Bollinger and Paul Renaudin. The House has a reputation for producing muscular Champagnes with body, depth and power; these are classic, complex, Pinot-Noir dominated Champagnes with the ability to age gracefully for many years.
A blend par excellence; Special Cuvée is the purest expression of Bollinger's house style. Its biscuity nose is endowed with hints of white fruit and the rich, full-bodied palate is perfectly balanced by fresh acidity and a soft, delicate mousse. A stylish Champagne that is ideal to drink now or in the next two or three year.

More famous for Cristal, their vintage expression is often overlooked – a great pity for it is one of the classiest Grande Marque vintages around. A superlative year, Roederer has risen to the occasion. The initial attack is of generous black-berried and wild strawberry compôte from this Pinot Noir dominated wine. There follows a glorious palate texture, in part from the rich fruit as well as subtle oak, with the gentlest of notes from bâtonnage. Fresh citrus and honeydew melon courtesy of the Chardonnay provide a long, poised finish.

The 2007 vintage was cool-ish (spring’s warm weather was halted by a relatively cold August, common in Atlantic-influenced vintages) which is a departure from the other vintages of this warm decade. There is a certain gravitas that engendered a reserved character when the wine was first released, but it is now opening up.
You can almost nose the coolness, with white flowers and citrus to the fore. Gentle swirling releases bolder berried fruit, that classic Bollinger Morello cherry note with kirsch liqueur adding succulence. The finish adds soft oak spice and I’m sure I detected a hint of truffle sous-bois, a foretaste of its future perhaps? And with similarities to the 1988 vintage, I predict a long and assured future ahead.

Pol Roger is perhaps best known as Winston Churchill's favourite Champagne. The House remains family-owned and has a reputation for producing Champagnes of finesse and elegance which age very well. Pol Roger Brut Réserve, made from equal parts of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, is consistently one of the very best non-vintage cuvées on the market, largely due to the high proportion of aged reserve wines in the blend.
This has a truly wide appeal and is perfect for lovers of exuberantly styled Champagnes. Feminine and fruity in its youth, it takes on a fuller flavour with age. The added reserve wines are specially selected to achieve the requisite elegance, balance and harmony. It’s perfect for the cellar as well as current drinking, which is an excellent excuse to buy more than one case.

The original and some would suggest the best of the Biodynamic Champagnes (certified by Ecocert and accredited to Demeter and Biodyvin), Champagne Fleury is based in the less than entirely fashionable Cote des Bars and excels in the production of Pinot Noir.
The great thing about them is that they have been biodynamic for so long (1989) that the vines have now gained maturity under the purity of this rigorous regime. This is clearly evidenced in the exceptional Blanc de Noirs; intense red fruit and savoury depth (Reserve wines are voluminous and kept in foudre) and such structural integrity that one is surprised to learn that there is 8.4 g of residual sugar.
The mid-palate is pure, refreshing and harmoniously constituted.

The extended ageing, over nearly a decade, has engendered greater autolytic harmony, hitherto concealed behind the wealth of orchard fruits and chalky zest. The palate adds notes of white tobacco, white peach, supple spice and intimations of Burgundian poise. For the more whimsical taster, Proustian madeleine may be detected, perhaps recalling great bygone vintages and posing the very real possibility that this will surpass them all.

From the warm 2006 vintage, this has arich bouquet with hints of zesty fruit, lilies and light toasted hazelnuts. As it develops in the glass the fruit aromas become more intense and complex. The palate confirms the delicate fruit with a deep, ripe flavour and silky texture, finishing crisply with a pure, mineral balance. As a young wine this is already deliciously balanced and charming, and promises to be a magnificent Champagne in full maturity.

Stephan Reinhardt - 18/06/2018 With staggering density and impressive balance, this is one of the greatest Roederer Cristal ever made. It’s a wine for the long term, and its best to leave it for six or seven years in the cellar before drinking. However, the vibrant youth of this great champagne is hard to be patient with. Simply put, it’s great to drink anytime.

There are three plenitudes in the life of a given vintage: the first plenitude spans between seven to eight years after the vintage, which is when Dom Pérignon Vintage is released, while the second one arrives between 12 and 15 years – which was previously the first oenothèque release, but from now will be branded as P2. The third window comes after around 30 years, when the Champagne has spent more than 20 years on its lees, which will now be termed as P3.
For a 16 year old wine this is very youthful in appearance and certainly belies its age. The nose is very well endowed with sweet yellow fruit and as intense a shortbread and brioche character as I’ve seen in any mature Champagne for years. This concentration continues onto the palate where it is elegant yet rigorous and well proportioned. There is a notable and refreshing salinity immediately on the front of the palate which tapers all the way through to the finish. The finish, as with all Dom Perignon is firm and long. This would make a wonderful match for Scallops & Lardo di Colonnata.
Gary Owen, Private Account Manager
This is a very stylish wine which (as usual) has gained a lot by the deferred disgorgement. This is a velvety, mineral-embossed aristocrat that sounds loud and clear like a symphony by Dvôrak"
Richard Juhlin, Champagneclub.com - 95/100 points
For the second plenitude (P2), we’re looking for the peak of energy, intensity and vibrancy, showing the wine in high-definition.

All the hallmarks of Grand Cru are here, with brioche and flowers on the nose and an elegant palate which marries notes of lemon grass, gingerbread and honeysuckle. The wine effortlessly combines structure and finesse, and reverberates with a really authoritative Grand Cru crescendo on the finish.
