This Champagne is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes and can only be produced during a fantastic harvest. Because of this, Blanc de Blancs isn't always available, leaving us at the mercy of Mother Nature. However, when the harvest is exceptional, Mr. Deutz decides to produce this Champagne. Therefore, the Blanc de Blancs bottle always features a vintage year. All Chardonnay grapes then come from this specific vintage. Deutz's beautiful old vineyards are located in the Côte des Blancs region, slightly further south than the red grapes. Here, much work is done in the vineyards to bring out the golden-yellow clusters' brilliance. At ideal ripeness, they are harvested by hand and transported in small crates to Ay. Ay is where Champagne Deutz is located.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Cellar storage for the Blanc de Blancs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nBecause Deutz Champagne has several vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, each vineyard is vinified separately. After this, the blend is made, and that's not done on chairs or benches. Every morning at 11:00 a.m., the still wines are tasted to create the ultimate Champagne. If the result is satisfactory, the bottles go into the cellar. For this Blanc de Blancs, it's chosen to age in the cellars for at least five years. This long period allows the beautiful, soft mousse to develop, and that's what you can taste.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aroma and taste of the Deutz Blanc de Blancs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAfter this long aging, a beautiful mousse has developed, and the aroma reveals many ripe, soft notes.

Because those are the words that come to mind when you drink this Champagne.

Each vineyard is harvested and vinified separately, resulting in dozens of barrels of Chardonnay wine in the cellar. Blending follows, under the supervision of Deutz's Master Blender, a process that takes weeks. Every morning, the new blend is tasted until it is perfect. Then, the bottles are stored in the cellars for at least seven years, allowing them to gently and calmly create the bubbles. The hallmark of this Amour de Deutz is the perfection of aromas, flavors, and bubbles, all perfectly balanced.

It's a joy to smell, and the Champagne ensures that you'll forget about anything else for a moment. The taste is also perfect: beautiful, light bubbles create a stimulating palate with nuances of citrus fruit, red apples, and a touch of apricot. Later, it also reveals notes of brioche bread, vanilla, and tangerines. The finish is long and ripe with abundant round flavors. What a joy to drink, and this Amour de Deutz makes every moment an unforgettable experience. A special bottle with your beloved drink? Deutz has a solution for that.

Founded in 1776, Louis Roederer Champagne is one of the oldest Champagne houses in France. The Champagne house is known for producing the finest and most refined Champagnes, which in the early years were only popular in Russia. Louis Roederer achieved great fame in that country when, in 1876, the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, requested that he create his own Champagne. Louis Roederer didn't hesitate and created a top-of-the-line cuvée. This cuvée couldn't have a soul in the bottle, as otherwise grenades could be smuggled in. This had happened several times before. The bottle also had to be entirely Cristal, which explains the name that still appears on the label today: Louis Roederer Cristal. The soulless bottle has always remained, but unfortunately, the bottle is no longer Cristal.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Ultimate top quality this Cristal Champagne\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nToday, Cristal Champagne remains Louis Roederer's finest cuvée. It's a Champagne made from the very best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. This cuvée uses Chardonnay bunches from seven Grand Cru vineyards. The vineyards are located in the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne, and the Côte des Blancs. These are where Louis Roederer's oldest and finest parcels are located. Since 1876, these vineyards have nurtured this rich Champagne, which is produced only in the very best vintages. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay bunches grow on very old vines, which yield little. However, the bunches that can be harvested by hand are of outstanding quality.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Wood aging for the Louis Roederer Cristal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOnce the harvest is brought in, a portion is fermented in oak barrels. Approximately thirty-two percent is aged in oak barrels, creating a unique potency. After the blend for this Louis Roederer Cristal is determined, the bottle is cellared. This bottle aging period lasts at least seven years, which is exceptionally long for a Champagne. Each Vintage is a unique blend of the very best Louis Roederer has to offer. Unfortunately, due to the low yields from the vineyards, this Champagne is very exclusive and not always available.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e One of the very best vintages of Cristal Champagne\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis vintage was one of the most challenging and powerful vintages of the past twenty years. It is therefore considered an exceptional year with great depth and ageing potential. This is evident upon opening the Champagne cork, as this Louis Roederer Cristal already reveals hints of spicy and candied fruit (lemon) mixed with white flower pollen. In the glass, it erupts golden yellow and displays soft, refined bubbles. Nosing the glass, we detect hints of roasted hazelnut and Madagascan vanilla. After aeration, the bouquet develops into rich notes of fresh pastry and smoky hints of bottle aging. A delicious, concentrated, and chalky palate. It displays incredible tension and perfectly honed aromatic precision. The attack is powerful, distinctive, and concentrated, revealing a silky, mouth-coating texture, characteristic of the ripe Pinot Noirs from this vintage.","brand":"Walraven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775746773071,"sku":"178","price":295.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/louis-roederer-cristal-vintage_178.webp?v=1770041770"},{"product_id":"veuve-clicquot-la-grande-dame-2018","title":"Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2018","description":"\u003ch2 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"58\"\u003e Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2018 Champagne, France\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"60\" data-end=\"620\"\u003eVeuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2018 is a prestige champagne entirely centered around Pinot Noir, thus remaining true to Madame Clicquot's vision: black grapes yield the most refined white wines.

This Blanc de Blancs variety is only released in exceptionally good vintages.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The beginning of Champagne House Ruinart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nRuinart Champagne is the oldest surviving Champagne house in France. Its origins trace back to the Benedictine monk Dom Thierry Ruinart. He was the confidant of the inventor of sparkling wines, indeed Dom Pérignon. Until the Second World War, Champagne Ruinart was run by the Ruinart family. Not by Thierry Ruinart, but by his nephew Nicolas Ruinart. Around 1949, Bertrand Mure became director of Ruinart Champagne. Due to the strong growth the company was experiencing at the time, more capital was needed to continue its growth. By selling half the shares to Philippe Rothschild, there was suddenly sufficient leverage to transform Ruinart into something significant.

Dom Ruinart 2009 is characterized by its full yet subtle flavor against a mineral background. Dom Ruinart 2009 feels light on the palate thanks to the freshness of citrus fruits and gentian. The most lingering flavor is that of grapefruit peel and kumquat with a slightly salty note. Thanks to the airy and refined structure of this vintage and the beautiful, fresh flavor for which this winery is known, it pairs well with elegant dishes, such as Peruvian sea bream ceviche or lobster carpaccio, caviar with lemon and coriander oil. Dom Ruinart 2009 keeps well in a wine cellar and will develop an even richer flavor after a few years. After this period, the wine can be enjoyed with dishes with more intense flavors.","brand":"Moet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775747100751,"sku":"189","price":289.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/ProductShadow_82.webp?v=1774441965"},{"product_id":"louis-roederer-cristal-rose","title":"Louis Roederer Cristal rose","description":"One hundred years after Cristal's creation, Champagne House Louis Roederer decided to create the Cristal Rosé cuvée.

Dom Pérignon had access to a vast array of Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, giving it the freedom to use only those plots where, despite the drought, the grapes still displayed tension, freshness, and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1666\" data-end=\"1693\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1695\" data-end=\"2709\"\u003eDom Pérignon is made exclusively as a vintage, meaning only when the house deems a single vintage strong enough to stand alone. In 2015, this meant an extremely strict selection of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a focus on the best cooler plots. Harvest began in early September, with remarkably ripe and powerful Pinot Noir and more uneven Chardonnay, which only made it into the blend after rigorous selection. The base wines underwent full malolactic fermentation, which, in such a warm year with low malic acid, was especially important for the texture and balance of the final cuvée. After the second fermentation in the bottle, the wine was aged on lees in the cellars for approximately eight years before being disgorged and finished with a low dosage of around 5g per liter. This long aging produces the characteristically smooth mousse, complex layers, and subtle brioche notes, while the relatively modest dosage emphasizes the freshness and light, characteristic bitterness of the 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2 data-start=\"2711\" data-end=\"2736\"\u003eGrape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2738\" data-end=\"3079\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2738\" data-end=\"2792\"\u003ePinot Noir – Grands Cru and Premier Cru vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2792\" data-end=\"2795\"\u003e Approximately 51% of the blend consists of Pinot Noir from top villages with Grand Cru and Premier Cru status.

On the nose, you initially recognize roasted cocoa and a hint of toasted breadcrumbs, followed by a floral bouquet of lime blossom, jasmine, and peony, complemented by spices like anise and cardamom. Fresh notes of orange peel, green papaya, and a hint of spice intersperse, keeping the whole light and lively. On the palate, the wine feels broad and level, spreading across the entire palate with a remarkably soft yet precise mousse. Ripe flavors of peach and nectarine are framed by citrus and a subtle gentian bitterness, creating tension and a highly recognizable signature of this vintage. The structure is intense yet refined, with a chalky undertone and a long, salty finish that lingers for minutes. Dom Pérignon 2015 is best served at around 10 to 12°C, with 12°C being considered the ideal serving temperature for a Vintage by the house. This champagne is already beautifully ready to drink, but has enough backbone to continue to develop in the cellar for at least another 15 to 20 years. At the table, it pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as oysters, langoustines, lobster, turbot with beurre blanc, but also with delicate poultry dishes or mature hard cheeses like Comté.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2 data-start=\"4875\" data-end=\"4891\"\u003eAwards \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-start=\"4893\" data-end=\"5018\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"4893\" data-end=\"4925\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"4895\" data-end=\"4925\"\u003e 2015 – 97 p (James Suckling) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"4926\" data-end=\"4958\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"4928\" data-end=\"4958\"\u003e 2015 – 96 p (Wine Spectator) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"4959\" data-end=\"4988\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"4961\" data-end=\"4988\"\u003e 2015 – 96 p (Jeb Dunnuck) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"4989\" data-end=\"5018\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"4991\" data-end=\"5018\"\u003e 2015 – 95 p (Wine Advocate)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Moet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775882203215,"sku":"6460","price":239.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/Dom_Perignon_2015_in_giftbox_6e93b93c-6ca4-4e0d-893f-9ce65066f7d2.webp?v=1768482362"},{"product_id":"gosset-champagne-celebris-vintage-extra-brut","title":"Gosset Champagne Celebris Vintage extra Brut","description":"The iconic champagne from the magnificent Gosset Champagne House.

This type of Champagne is called Blanc de Noirs. All Philipponnat Champagnes are based on Pinot Noir, and the grape always dominates every blend. But let's begin with the rich history, which dates back to 1522. Even then, the family was already actively producing fine wines. It wasn't until 1910, when Auguste and Pierre Philipponnat purchased an eighteenth-century cellar in Mareuil-sur-Ay, that they began producing the finest Champagnes. Today, the house and vineyards are still located in Mareuil-sur-Ay, five kilometers east of Epernay. Significant investment has been made in both the winery and the old vineyards, all of which have been awarded the Grand Cru designation. They have a total of seventeen hectares of their own vineyards, and the rest of the bunches are purchased from farmers with whom the family has long-standing ties.

Upon arrival, the bunches are pressed immediately, without contact with the skins, preserving the bright color. This Champagne then matures for an impressive three years in the Philipponnat cellars.

They are located in the small town of Ay, where some of the finest Champagnes originate. Behind the house, on the mountain behind the house, lie the vineyards for this La Grande Année 2015. Bollinger has chosen to make this Vintage with 67 percent Pinot Noir, with the remainder made solely with Chardonnay. Because the grapes must be true gems, they come from no fewer than 21 different Crus. Simply the best and oldest vineyards in Champagne Bollinger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe harvest of the La Grande Année Rosé 2015\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The vineyards, located in the commune of Ay en Verzenay, grow the red Pinot Noir grape. They are situated behind the house, and from the Bollinger garden, you can already see the beautiful vines. The Chardonnay is grown a little further south, specifically in Oiry, because that's where the very best Chardonnay bunches are grown. Harvesting is done entirely by hand, and each bunch is inspected visually. Only the finest bunches are placed in small wooden crates and transported to Champagne Bollinger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Wood aging for the La Grande Année Rosé 2015\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAfter pressing, this La Grande Année Rosé 2015 undergoes fermentation, which is done entirely in small wooden barrels. The barrels have an average age of 20 years and give this Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé its distinctive style. Bollinger is proud of this unique technique, and today, they have 3,500 barrels in which this La Grande Année Rosé matures. Then it's time to release the bubbles, and for this, this Champagne undergoes a long cellar aging process with yeast and sugar. The bottles are aged for a full 84 months, creating soft bubbles known in the wine world as mousse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The smell and taste of the Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé 2015\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eYes, after this long period of craftsmanship, it's time to savor this spectacular piece. Pouring reveals a beautiful color—a red rose with pink glints. This color is achieved because this rosé is made with red La Côte aux Enfants, making it unique. Visually, we also perceive the soft and exquisite mousse that tantalizes our senses. Nosing the glass, we smell nuances of blackcurrant, beautiful citrus notes, fresh grains, and a touch of mint. On the palate, it's a true celebration; the soft mousse tickles our tongue, releasing flavors of strawberry, currant, and a touch of blackberry. Later, nuances of vanilla, citrus, and a touch of grapefruit grace the palate, rounding it all off. Whether you have something to celebrate, or perhaps nothing at all, with this La Grande Année Rosé 2015, it's always a celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verbunt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775807164495,"sku":"11085","price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/champagne-bollinger-la-grande-annee-rose-2012_11085.webp?v=1770121059"},{"product_id":"champagne-billecart-salmon-nicolas-francois","title":"Champagne Billecart Salmon Nicolas Francois","description":"An exceptional Champagne specially created in tribute to the Champagne House's founder.
