Country: France Region: Champagne
Varietal: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
Vintage: NV Size: 37.5cl Colour: Champagne Style: Dry
Producer: Louis Roederer
Description:
Fantastic texture, round and rich while at the same time great fruit and refreshing notes. According to Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, "In the mouth, the wine has structure, richness and length. It is a full, complex wine that is both modern and powerful, whilst remaining a great classic". We couldn't agree more, this is one of our firm favourites.
Tasting Note:
Louis Roederer Magnum Brut Premier non vintage Champagne is the embodiment of Louis Roederer style, combining all the fruitiness and freshness of youth with the vinosity of a fully mature wine. This is a structured and elegantly mature wine, with a lively attack and a smooth palate. The blend is 1/3 Chardonnay and 2/3 Pinots, including 10% of reserve wines aged in oak casks for 2-5 years. The maturation is an average of three years ageing on lees, plus another six months after disgorging.
“A vivacious Champagne, finely knit and elegant overall. This is creamy and satiny in texture, with layers of yellow plum, chalk, toast, glazed apricot and lemon curd. Offers a lingering, smoke- tinged finish. Drink now through 2020.”

Country: France Region: Languedoc
Varietal: Grenache Vintage: 2024
Colour: Rose Style: Dry
Producer: Cellier Jean d'Alibert
Description:
Rosabelle is a dry rosé wine from the Languedoc, South of France. The vineyards are located a few miles from the Mediterranean Sea and are drenched in sunshine.
To create a fresh and fruity rosé with refreshing crispness, the grapes are harvested at night when the temperature is cool. The juice is sent after a gentle pressing to fermentation at low temperature in stainless steel tanks, enhancing the elegant aromatic profile of strawberry and raspberry notes. The wine stays on its fine lees at least two months and is stirred periodically providing a smooth texture and finish. The fresh and vivid fruit flavors on the palate make Rosabelle the perfect aperitif wine or accompaniment to lighter summer fare.
