We have been shipping Claude Nominé’s champagne for seventeen years now and we rate him extremely highly. As a récoltant-manipulant - a grower - he does not buy in his grapes and can offer fabulous value for money. His Brut Cuvée Spéciale is benchmark non-vintage champagne and was voted the third best NV champagne in the country in Decanter Magazine (July 2006). The rich, predominately Chardonnay Vintage Special Club in the CVC’s distinctive ‘Krug’ bottle is well worth trying. The delicious Brut Rosé now comes in a green bottle and must be one of the best buy rosés shipped into this country.

Vintage ‘Spécial Club’ AUTRÈAU-LASNOT - Venteuil These champagnes come from a small family-run récoltant with 3 hectares in the Marne Valley. The Cuvée de Réserve is soft and elegant with less pronounced mousse than most and is 85% Pinot Meunier. The wild strawberry fruit driven Brut Rosé is made from 40% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier and received a coveted star in the Guide Hachette 2007. NV

Josephine’ Gosset is the oldest champagne house, established in Aÿ in 1584. Neighbours of Bollinger, they make a rich, full-bodied style in conscious emulation of Krug. No champagnes are aged for less than 5 years in their cellars and the Excellence Brut is a satisfyingly big, biscuity wine. The Grande Réserve - a blend of two vintages - comes in the distinctive antique bottle and wins prizes all over the world. Serena Sutcliffe says in her book on champagne that Gosset are masters of rosé, and rates the Grande Réserve Rosé as one of the best of all. The Grande Millésime is absolutely stunning and will age for decades.

Blanc de Blancs TAITTINGER - Reims In 2005 Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger took over the reins of this famous, family-run champagne house. The Brut Resèrve has a high Chardonnay percentage (40%) while the famous Comtes de Champagne is a ‘blanc de blancs’ made from 100% Chardonnay from the finest Grand Cru vineyards. A supremely elegant style of Champagne.

La Grande Dame POL ROGER - Épernay
One of the
greatest names in Champagne - and Winston Churchill’s favourite -
Pol-Roger
was
founded in 1849 and owns 85 hectares, mostly in the Épernay area. The White
Foil Brut has a typical Pinot Meunier flowery fruit, with Pinot Noir steely
depth. Cuvée Winston Churchill is one of the most complex prestige
cuvées and is made in Churchill’s favourite style with the Pinot Noir
predominating. Although the house refuses to reveal the exact blend, it is
probably around 70% Pinot Noir.

KRUG - Reims As Tom Stevenson says in his Encyclopaedia of Champagne: ‘Krug is Krug is Krug.’The superb ‘Grande Cuvée’ is best summed up by Rémi Krug himself, ‘If Grande Cuvée is a basic non-vintage, then a Rolls Royce is just a car, and the Pope just a priest.’ Rich and intense, it has some 35 - 50% of reserve wines blended in and will age for up to ten years.
