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.

Champagne Pol Roger Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill 1999

Champagne Pol Roger Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill 1999

Sir Winston Churchill had a lifelong 'attachment' to Pol Roger champagne and insisted on enjoying the wine at the most dangerous and dark periods of wartime. He famously borrowed a slogan of Napoleon's to describe his passion for this supremely invigorating champagne: "In defeat I need it, in victory I deserve it". It is made in a style which Churchill himself favoured: robust, mature and long-lived.

Bauget-Jouette Rose Champagne NV

Enjoy within 2 years

Based in Epernay, this fine Champagne house dates back to 1822.  They have been making elegant and delicious Champagne from their own vines since 1949 and by the early 1980s demand for their wines had grown to such an extent that like all grand houses they started also buying grapes from other high quality growers in the region in order to produce enough Champagne to satisfy demand. Their first rose was released in 1976.

Champagne Pol Roger Brut Vintage 2000

Champagne Pol Roger Brut Vintage 2000

Optimum 2010 - 2017

2000 was a vintage that "came right" at the last minute, thanks to a fine Indian Summer. Made in only limited quantities the Brut Vintage 2000 was aged for 9 years in the Pol Roger cellars before being released to the market. It has a very striking Pinot Noir nose, huge ripeness and complexity, with great weight and richness, serious back-bone with fine length and spiced concentration. As ever, Pol Vintage is great.

Champagne Ruinart Blanc de Blancs NV

Within 5 Years

The Ruinart quest for perfection is particularly illustrated by the predominance of the Chardonnay grape, which is included in the composition of the whole Ruinart range and of the prestigious Dom Ruinart champagnes, flowing through them and enhancing them like a golden thread. No more so than in Blanc de Blancs.
