A trusted old friend….rich, fat, with just a hint of oak….I put this in the category of White Burgundy look-alikes. Not the lean Chablis style, but the richer Macon end of Burgundy. Grapes with a touch of botrytis (noble rot) make this a soft, satisfying white.

Really! Honestly! Go no farther than Marc Chauvet for your Champagne. If you don’t want to spend £29.50, then try Blanquette de Limoux, but please don’t resort to cheap Champagne!
To my mind Clotilde’s latest cuvee is her best yet! Soft, full, biscuity and long-lasting (in the palate, that is – I suspect the bottle will be polished off very quickly!)
o 1/3 each Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier
o 2/3 2015 vintage, 1/3 reserve wine
o Dosage 12gms
o Disgorged in after 3 years sur lattes
Previous years’ accolades;
Top 12 Fizzes for Christmas 2012 Daily Telegraph -“”Warm in style, nicely biscuity, with personality but one that will please a variety of tastes. Very box office.”
A previous cuvee was also in Oz Clarke’s 250 Best Wines of 2011: “a fascinating wine,” and recommended by Victoria Moore in The Daily Telegraph November 2010: “delicious.”
and recommended in The Guardian May 2010: “impressive.”

Great quaffing wine, but rather a superior quaffing wine and also a good food wine. From a great Estate in Robertson! Green appley characters but not sharp. Refreshing and fruity, finishes with that touch of minerality which elevates it from the masses. Lovely winter wine, summer wine, spring wine, autumn wine….

Beat Krug in Blind tasting!
Blend : 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir from the terroir of Rilly la Montagne, 1er cru.
The year : 80% of the SELECTION comes from the 2007 harvest with 20% reserve wine from 2006. 5 years bottle ageing on lees.
Recommended by Jancis Robinson in The Financial Times November 2010: “A substantial wine…very direct, quite complex, confident attack. Tight bead. Zesty and very fresh.”
Recommended in Oz Clarke’s 2010 250 Best Wines; “This has a full, rollicking, jolly quality to it, hedonism to the fore, a big smile on your face, optimism in your eyes, and all the typical champagne flavours a bit exaggerated…..”
Yet another recommendation, this time Bob Tyrer in the Sunday Times December 2010: “excellent value, fully matured in bottle.”
Also recommended in The Times 14th March 2009.
