About

Some Champagnes you drink. This one you taste. Pierre Larmandier farms biodynamically on the chalkiest slopes of Vertus, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs — and the wine drinks like the place. Lemon peel and white flowers lift over a saline, mineral core that cuts cleanly across the palate and lingers. No fat, no makeup, no compromise — just Chardonnay in its purest, most precise form. One of the great grower Champagnes, full stop.

Producer note

Pierre Larmandier and his wife Sophie farm 16 hectares biodynamically in the Premier Cru village of Vertus, and have helped lead Champagne's grower-producer movement.

Cristal Brut 2016

Champagne Louis Roederer

Louis Roederer's flagship, a blend of 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay from the house's estate vineyards, with 31% of the base wines aged in French oak foudres, no malolactic fermentation and a modest 7 g/L dosage. The 2016 is restrained and layered: a floral perfume over red berry and citrus, concentrated citrus fruit with grain and almond on the palate, dynamic mousse, and the vintage's long, salivating, saline-chalky finish. Built for the cellar — it rewards at least three to five more years of patience.

Laurent-perrier la Cuvee

Laurent-Perrier

Laurent-Perrier's signature non-vintage brut leans unusually hard on Chardonnay — over 50%, with 30 to 35% Pinot Noir and 10 to 15% Meunier, plus 15 to 30% reserve wines drawn from around 100 crus. Four years maturing in the cellars gives fine bubbles and a persistent mousse over pale gold. The nose is delicate — fresh citrus and white flowers — and the palate moves through vine peach and white fruit, balancing freshness against delicacy with the fruit still ringing on the finish.

Aÿ, Champagne, France

Gosset Grande Réserve Brut

Champagne Gosset

Gosset's flagship non-vintage brut: 45% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 10% Meunier drawn from premier Champagne villages including Aÿ, Bouzy and Ambonnay. Aged a minimum of four years in the cellar plus at least six months' rest after disgorgement, with a measured 8 g/L dosage. Lemon meringue and honeyed toast on the nose lead to a rich palate of sustained yellow fruit and brioche, structured by the Pinot Noir, before a balanced, persistent floral finish touched with elderflower.

Prosecco DOC, Veneto, Italy

Amanti Prosecco

Amanti (Enoitalia)

Non-vintage Glera from the Prosecco DOC in the Veneto, made in the Extra Dry style by Enoitalia, Italy's largest privately owned winery. Bright aromas of green apple, pear, white blossom and citrus lead into a palate of crunchy orchard fruit and a hint of lemon peel, with a touch of sweetness wrapped up in a clean, dry-feeling finish and soft, gentle bubbles. An accessible aperitivo pour — and the honest base for a proper Aperol Spritz.
