Champagne

Only the sparkling wines from the Champagne Region of France are permitted to use the term ‘Champagne’ – so there are no Australian, New Zealand or South African Champagnes, these are just called sparkling wines.

Just like with other wines, there can be a vast difference in taste between one Champagne and another – this is caused by a number of influencing factors such as the grape variety used (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay can be used singularly or combined in a blend), where in the vast Champagne Region the wine comes from, the vintage, how long the wine is aged before release, who made it etc. etc. This makes Champagne a vast and fascinating subject with different styles to suit different occasions and one to suit everyone.

At HarperWells we work with several of the big name ‘Grande Marques’ to bring you fantastic examples of world famous wines but we also offer you the opportunity to try some wonderful Champagne from names you may never have heard of before.

"I'm surprised that more consumers do not grab as much Théophile as they can. Owned by Louis Roederer, this second label is produced not from its own vineyards, but from cooperative purchased fruit. Wouldn't you be interested if Louis Roederer was given the run of a cooperative to craft a Champagne to its own demanding standards? Well, it does, and this is the result."

Customer Rating
     

When Father Pierre Pérignon took over as cellar master at the Benedictine Abbey of Hautvillers in 1668, his avowed goal was “to make the best wine in the world”. For a young monk just 30 years old, it took a visionary spirit and exceptional audacity to set such lofty ambitions. He succeeded in transforming the history of wine and is known today as the spiritual father of champagne.

Harper Wells Rating
     
Customer Rating
     

A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the Dom Ruinart Rosé 1996 special vintage has a crystal-clear, harmonious "autumn glory" color with sublime glints of pink gold. Its bubbles are delicate and lively. Its subtly fruity aroma develops remarkably as it warms up. The red berry, liquorice and citrus notes come forward in all their glory with each passing sip. If left to age for a few more years, this grand rosé vintage will gain even more in complexity and fullness.
