This is arguably the greatest rosé wine of Champagne. Why is it so good? Well, the first reason is that the fruit comes from 100% Grand Cru estate vines grown by one of the most meticulous vignerons in the region. Then there is the five percent of Egly’s 2015 Coteaux Champenois Rouge—the finest red wine of the AOC in our opinion, and not only ours! This red Pinot gives the wine its colour and a great deal of its vinous character. The blend is 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay with 50% from the 2017 vintage and the reserve wines split between 2016 and 2015. The dosage is a negligible two grams per litre. Interestingly, this is always Egly’s most delicate wine. It’s unbelievably fine, perfumed, delicate and red-fruited; something truly special. It’s also now bottled in dark glass, protecting it from light strike.
Vintages: 2017 (50%), 2016 (30%), 2015 (20%), Bottling: 2018, Disgorgement: July 2023, Time on lees: 60 months

Add to cart Producer: BerecheThe 2016 Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Les Longues Voyes 1er Cru is a dense, powerful Champagne built on vertical intensity. The dark, brooding side of Pinot emerges as the Longues Voyes starts to open in the glass. There is a real sense of gravitas here. Pear, white flowers, spice and almond are all nicely […]
Add to cart Producer: Laherte FreresA wine of great depth, concentration, power and finesse, marked by the uncanny freshness of Dethune’s Champagnes. The blend is 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, which goes some way to explaining the wine’s freshness and energy. Extremely complex aromatics of cherry, red apple, brioche, toasted almonds, cashew, hedge fruits and spice. Deep and vinous, […]

Laherte’s entry level Champagne continues its skywards trajectory. It’s simply a top value grower wine: bright, pure and juicy with loads of delicious, jubey and red apple Meunier fruit. The quality delivered for this price is outstanding. Two reserve vintages are blended in, giving more complexity and oomph. The reserve wines now make up 40% […]
