Champagne & Coteaux Combo
Champagne isn't only about sparkling wine. In fact, there is a growing trend towards still red and white wines, known as 'Coteaux Champenois'.
This selection combines one of the best examples of still red wine from the region alongside a classic Grand Cru Côte des Blancs Chardonnay and a beautiful blend from the Montagne de Reims – a trio that truly captures the wonderful diversity of the Champagne region.
Bonnaire Terroirs
Classic Côte des Blancs Chardonnay, with everything you want from the terroir – bright and fresh nose with loads of confected apple, followed by a palate with nice weight and texture, and a sweet, chalky backbone.
Louis Brochet Villers Aux Nœuds Rouge 'Le Mont Benoit' Coteaux Champenois
Pinot Noir is the emblematic grape variety of the Montagne de Reims and the Mont Benoit terroir is renowned for producing rich and robust examples. The Maison typically uses this plot for red wine in their rosé, so it made perfect sense to take it a step further and create a pure red wine. Vibrant, fresh and fruity, this is a great example of the excellent reds that are being created in the appellation. Serve slightly chilled.
Rousseaux Batteux Verzenay 'Les Grandes Voyettes'
We cap off this trio with a great contrast to the Côte des Blancs Chardonnay; a 50/50 Pinot Noir/Chardonnay blend from the wonderful village of Verzenay, it's bursting with enticing dark fruits well balanced by the citrus aromas from the Chardonnay and added creaminess from the use of oak.
