Moet Imperial, crafted back in 1869, is hands down one of the world’s most iconic Champagnes. A stunning blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, this bubbly is all about light, fine bubbles with those gorgeous floral and fruity vibes, plus a subtle touch of brioche to keep things classy. It’s your perfect go-to for any celebration—or just because!
1 x RED: Chateau Carteau St Emilon Grand Cru, France
The wine boasts a deep ruby color and an elegant nose with aromas of dark fruit, toasted bread, and liquorice. On the palate, it is unctuous and smooth, with a fresh aromatic profile where blackberry, cherry, and cassis mingle with hints of toast and smokiness. The superb structure and balance, free from over-ripeness or excessive oak, reflect the meticulous care taken from vineyard to bottle. This wine embodies great value and is a true representation of the Bertrand family's dedication to their craft.
1 x WHITE: Guy Allion, Touraine, Sauvignon Blanc, Loire
Touraine is a Sancerre-like gem, and a brilliant value Sauvignon Blanc. Vibrant and elegant, with a real mineral edge, the palate is full-flavoured with freshly squeezed lemon mingling with white fruit, pear and green apples ending with racy, fresh notes. This sauvignon blanc hails from the small estate of Cédric and Dorothée Allion, produced in accordance with the Terra Vitis principles established in the Beaujolais region three decades ago. This method emphasizes rational viticulture over tradition. The Allions keep vineyard interventions to a minimum, avoiding chemical additives. The quality of their wine is evident: it's a notably refined sauvignon blanc, characterized by its crisp and almost steely sharpness, and rich with flavors of gooseberry, peanut, and nettle. It stands out as a clear, remarkably well-priced alternative to New World sauvignon blancs.
