Piper Heidsieck Brut



This is a well-balanced champagne; fresh and lively, with light aromas of citrus fruits and spring flowers. The cuvée brings its own lively, vivacious and exuberant character to dry champagne’s traditional elegance and finesse. Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes give cuvée Brut its structure and elegance. Reserve wines from earlier years are used to create a more rounded blend and ensure the originality of the Piper-Heidsieck style. The wine’s harmony develops over the course of slow ageing in Piper-Heidsieck’s chalk cellars. Look for fruity notes such as apple and pear, then citrus, with hints of warm toastiness.


Veuve Clicquot Brut



The Yellow label is gold in color, crisp and dry, with a fine, persistent sparkle. It is a classically styled blend of two-thirds black grapes (Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) for body, balanced with one-third Chardonnay for elegance. Its complex nose of apple, citrus and caramel is followed by rich flavors of citrus, hazelnut and baked bread, with a crisp, spicy finish. Enjoy it as the perfect apéritif, or to enhance any meal, from start to finish.


Mumm Cordon Rouge



All the richness and finesse of the Mumm vineyard is expressed in Cordon Rouge. In the late nineteenth century, this champagne was decorated with the famous red ribbon, as a tribute to the Légion d'Honneur. The blend is Pinot Noir (45%), rounded and full, creating strength and power; Pinot Meunier (25%), providing fruitiness, liveliness and a rustic feel; Chardonnay (30%), giving this champagne all its finesse and elegance. The wine is a fresh golden yellow with jade tints, an elegant stream of bubbles rising to form a rich, lively foam. The nose develops aromas of lemon and grapefruit, with notes of white peach, apricot and apple. There are lingering notes of vanilla, dried fruit and honey. The flavor is complex focusing on fruit a touch of caramel. A touch of acidity and remarkable length in the mouth provide a consistently delightful finish.
