Big Brand vs Artisan Champagne - Big Brand
Let the Champagne do the talking
If you usually reach for a familiar name, our curated cases offer a starting point for exploring artisan Champagne.
Discover wines from small-scale winemakers through different grapes, places and styles. Start with a mixed case, or try a single bottle from Jean Velut.
Discover what you like
Our Artisan Champagne Introduction case brings together one bottle each of Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir. Taste them side by side to explore where your preferences lie.
The current selection pairs Bonnaire’s crisp, chalky Chardonnay with Famille Delouvin’s rich, textured Meunier and William Saintot’s Pinot Noir, with its dark-fruit flavours and saline edge.
View the three-bottle introduction, or explore our mixed Champagne cases.
Bottles may occasionally be substituted with cuvées in the same style and of the same or greater value. See each product page for the current selection, price and availability.
Prefer to start with one bottle?
Jean Velut Lumière et Craie Sip Edition is specially aged and disgorged for Sip. Our tasting notes describe brioche, honey and salted caramel balanced by a fresh, chalky character.
This is a separate release from the original Lumière et Craie featured in our big-brand comparison.
