House Champagnes
We have chosen three ranges of Champagne which we have specially selected
for their freshness, balance, consistency and value. Well worth considering. |

VEUVE RICOTTEAU
Despite credit crunches, recessions and adverse currency movements,
U.K. champagne imports remain very high. However there has been more
growth in House Champagne sales than in most Grandes Marques.
Our Veuve Ricotteau Brut and Rosé champagnes have only had duty
increases on the price since we first listed them.
Accordingly sales have more than tripled. |

PIERRE MIGNON
We introduced the Pierre Mignon wines last year with great success.
Like so many of our Wine Selection, the firm remains family owned.
They produce champagnes made in the purest tradition and concentrate
on a delicate pressing and slow fermentation with a longer than average
ageing period. Pierre Mignon may not be the biggest of houses but regularly
wins awards in international competitions. |

Pierre Mignon Grand Reserve Brut NV
This family-owned Champagne house is well-known in France for its quality
control and attention to detail in the production of a stylish NV Brut with a
vibrant, fresh character and soft creamy texture.

MONTAUDON
The influential Wine Spectator magazine scored the Montaudon Reserve Premier
Brut first at a tasting which included most major champagne houses’ non-vintage
wines. This left Roederer, Pol Roger and Moet behind.
The wines are noted for their more full-bodied and toasty style. Demi-Sec
is effectively a medium dry Champagne and can prove popular with customers
looking to avoid a bone dry finish. |
