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.

Taittinger NV Brut

Taittinger (Champagne Taittinger)

Non-vintage Brut Réserve, a blend of 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier drawn from more than 40 vineyards and blended across four vintages. Its Chardonnay proportion is unusually high for a house Brut, which independent reviewers credit for giving it more freshness and elegance than the typical Pinot-heavy non-vintage style. Fermented in stainless steel, then finished with reserve wines folded in for consistency between releases. Professional tasting notes describe green apple, grapefruit and toasted brioche on the nose, with crushed raspberry and apple blossom on the palate, a fine persistent mousse and a clean, structured finish.

Bouzy Grand Cru, Champagne, France

Paul Bara Brut Reserve Champagne

Champagne Paul Bara

The signature cuvée of Paul Bara, one of Bouzy's rare récoltants-manipulants — growers who make Champagne only from their own grand cru fruit. 80% Pinot Noir with 20% Chardonnay off Bouzy's deep chalky subsoil, fermented in stainless steel with no malolactic conversion and aged on the lees. Light yellow-gold with a fine, abundant mousse: ripe fleshy fruit and Mirabelle plum open into spice, honey, bergamot and orange peel, with yellow peach and a subtle peppery note on a fresh, mineral palate.

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.
