We love Champagne

KRUG CHAMPAGNE

 

 

Krug is a famous brand which goes through time without ageing.

Krug gives the visual illusion of a sun that would be locked in glass.

The prelude is slow; it starts with a few pearl like touches out of a flute.

Tasting a glass of Krug Champagne isn’t so vivid initially.

 

Wine notes gradually arise from the world’s silence, they come to life and gain strength and intensity and keep rising into the twilight gods night.

One very quickly gets overwhelmed by the richness, depth and intensity of this wave unfurling.

This irresistible force invites you in an unexpected twist to join the spiritual and pure world surrounding elegance and finest.

Krug has always been considered as the absolute expression of discrete luxury.

You can taste various kinds of Krug champagnes such as Krug “Grande cuvee Brut”, “Krug rosé”, Krug “vintage 1999”, Krug “Clos du mesnil 1998”.

I invite  you to try this brand

A perfect Christmas Gift

 

To celebrate the 50 years of vintage Dom Ruinart, the Ruinart Champagne House launches a very exclusive Christmas Gift box: 
A limited edition Dom Ruinart 1998 bottle, stamped with the 50 years seal along with 2 flutes from the Melted collection designed by Dutch designer Maarten Baas.

This quite exceptional Gift box is not only elegant with its black matte and mirror combination to showcase the Chardonnay’s colour but also convenient as the lid becomes a striking tray that will carry both flutes and the Dom Ruinart 1998. Romantic tasting on the way...

 

It follows last year’s success with Bouquet de Champagne, when Maarten Baas already created 2 flutes in a floral inspired theme for that specific Champagne.

 

 

 

Harmonious combination of tableware tradition dating back from the Enlightenment period and the more contemporary Melted collection, enable stylish and creative serving. It’s also serving made easy as the lid becomes tray in a split second thanks to a sliding panels system.

Once set, the lid will offer a service space with mirroring spirals. The glass feet seem to have been melted, then frozen in this gracious look forever. The whole set demonstrates a subtle balance of lights and dark, a uniqueness mirorred by the exceptional tasting qualities of the vintage Champagne.

Charles heidsieck champagne

Charles Heidsieck champagne is the result of hard work; it is a true gem for people knowledgeable in the field.

Since the beginning of their production, this Champagne spreaded successfully throughout European royal courts and to the wealthiest people of that time.

Charles Camille–Heidsieck was a young man when he set up his wine house in 1851. He operated a strict selection of grapes and improved production methods by purchasing new machines for a better wine mellowing maturation.

The Charles Heidsieck House now produces several Cuvee like Brut reserve, Rosé reserve, Blanc des millenaires and vintage Brut 2000.

The Champagne House’s man expertise and gifted natural resources contribute to define its style.

Another reason for Charles Heidsieck champagne’s incredible success is time since the optimal mellowing time provides a unique taste, the “fondu aromatique”, so sought after by the industry experts.

Wines are kept stored for at least 3 years (for Brut reserve), 6 years for Vintage ones.

After the “degorgement”, wine rests another 3 to 6 years before being sent off.

The 2000 Vintage by Gosset

The Gosset Champagne brand is among the oldest Champagne Houses: its “expertise” dates back 425 years.

 

Gosset is strongly inspired by Haute Couture and reveals their new Champagne which is 2000 Vintage. A rare wine that reflects a mythical and capricious year; this great Vintage is the perfect representation of years of hard work.

 

  Shaken by wild winds and hail in 2000, the Champagne vineyards have recovered all theirs strength with the arrival of good weather from summer until harvest. In these exceptional conditions the 2000 Gosset Vintage regained strength and uniqueness, growing on the best vineyards plots.

Sweet and precious, it shows off its pale yellow gold colour. Its taste is both delicate and gourmet: yellow fruits and spring flowers echo the citrus notes. This Champagne will no doubt seduce you with its freshness and its exceptionally lasting taste in the mouth which stir the lemon twist vivacity.

 

A subtle combination of 57% Chardonnay and 43% Pinot Noir, this Cuvee will reveal all its secrets with a toast of  foie gras, a freshly caught sea bass or scallops with Cèpes mushroom.

We strongly recommend you enjoy this Gosset 2000 Vintage during the festive season.

Bollinger champagne

 

Before being a famous brand, Bollinger is first of all a great wine; it is this quest for excellence and passion that has been ruling the house for over 180 years.

Consistency is the key to characterize Bollinger house and wine; it is embodied both in the Champagne style and wine quality produced by the house.

The Bollinger’s Charter of ethics and quality strengthens this Champagne consistency even further in consumers’ eyes.

Bollinger’s style and identity is divided in two famous cuvee: the “Cuvee spéciale” and “La grande année”.

The “Cuvee spéciale”, a non vintage wine produced every year, is Bollinger’s quintessential style.

It is on this particular wine Bollinger wants to be judged in order to stand out from other Champagne brands.

On the other hand, “La Grande Année“ is produced only when the harvest quality is extremely high. This is Bollinger Excellence cuvee; the vintage “Grand cru” from the Champagne region.

Bollinger then produces variations around these two key Champagne types, all of these wines boasting a strong personality.
