Non-Vintage Exploration

Bottles individually purchased: £265

Looking to get acquainted with the world of Artisan Champagne?

At under £40 per bottle, this is the perfect, great-value selection to get you started! With a Chardonnay, a Pinot Noir, a Meunier, a couple of blends, and even a rosé, this case allows you to explore the region and discover where your tastes lie.  

Louis Brochet Rosé Heritage

Meandering our way from north to south, our first visit is the village of Ecueil in the Petite Montagne de Reims. A rosé made from a Pinot heavy blend, utilising red wine from Mont Benoit, it's a classic fresh and fruity summer blend, with plenty of strawberries and cherries on the palate.

Champagne Alexis La Terre Mere

Heading south from here we enter the home of Pinot Meunier – the Vallée de la Marne. Alexis does a great job of retaining freshness and balance in his non-vintage pure Meunier, without losing the heady bouquet of fruit that typifies this grape.

Pierre Legras Coste Beert

For our third wine we make a stop in the north of the Côte des Blancs in the Grand Cru village of Chouilly. This pure Chardonnay is an excellent example of Chardonnay in it's spiritual home – crisp and chalky, with green apple, citrus fruits and just a touch of biscuit and brioche.

Paul Clouet Selection

We hop back to the Montagne de Reims for, what could be considered, the most classic cuvée of this collection. A well-balanced blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 20% Meunier with 7g/ltr.

William Saintot Blanc de Noirs

No exploration of the region would be complete without Pinot Noir and this is a fascinating example; vinified 40% in oak, 40% in steel and 20% in concrete egg, it displays a light pink hue, resembling Provençal rosé. There are ample dark fruits and a vinous delivery with notable structure and sense of terroir.

Guenin Effloraison

To finish off our collection we head all the way south to the Aube and this moreish blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Chardonnay balances out the impact of the rich, southerly Pinot grapes, but it's a cuvée that still packs a punch!

Please note: Occasionally, due to stock availability, we may need to substitute bottles. In this situation, the replacement cuvées will be in the same style, and of the same or greater value.
