Normally $300. A sophisticated wine drinkers champagne presented in a lovely gift box. It is like drinking a fine wine because of the complexity of the blending from aged cuvees from top cru vineyards. Krug Grande Cuvee is the timelessly stylish signature of Krug, a breathtaking champagne that effortlessly balances richness and freshness, power and finesse. A gleaming gold colour, an extravagantly expansive bouquet, an almost creamy texture. Then, an explosion of flavours, at once mellow and mature, crisp and clean. Its a dream drop.

Ruinart Rose, as with all Ruinart champagnes, is made with a high proportion of Chardonnay giving great finesse and elegance - so characteristic of Ruinart champagnes. Presented in an elegant 18th century style bottle, this champagne reveals such a fresh, distinctive, rose petal pink colour. It is a blend of 45 % Premier Cru Chardonnay and 55 % Premier Cru Pinot Noir of which 18 % vinified in red. The appearance is of orange-yellow, rose petal colour with very fine, profuse and sustained long-lasting bubbles. It has a nose which is very fine, subtle and fruity - small red berries such as redcurrant and blackberry dominate. A very intense classy wine.

Normally $275 The 2002 Dom Perignon is at first intensely floral, with perfumed jasmine that dominates the bouquet. With time in the glass the wine gains richness as the flavors turn decidedly riper and almost tropical. Ripe apricots, passion fruit and peaches emerge from this flashy, opulent Dom Perignon. The wine’s volume makes it approachable today, but readers in search of more complexity will want to cellar this for at least a few years to allow for some of the baby fat to drop off.Anticapated maturity 2012-2032. " 96/100 R.Parker
Extraordinarily firm, confident, intense nose. Definitely the savoury side of Dom. Nothing remotely sweet or fat - though it's as intense as a Montrachet. Wonderful quality of mousse - surely slightly less bubbly than it has been? More like a Montrachet with a bit of carbon dioxide laced into it than a typical champagne. Broad and long with a hint of orange peel. Great persistence. This already delivers but has such backbone and great acidity and light grip (only noticeable at the very end of the tasting experience) that it surely has a long life ahead of it. Really reaches every hidden cell of the palate. A very assured performance. LVMH at its very best?" 20/20 Jancis Robinson

Taittinger has long been renowned as one of Champagne's highest quality houses. 5 Stars Cuisine. "The Taittinger house makes Champagne of mellow softness, exemplified by this non-vintage blend. A perfect partner for cheesy appertisers, it offers citrus, pastry cream and toasty complexity and an easy, flowing palate with a zippy fresh finish. Very easy to like."
