"Roederer is one of the champagne greats, owning more vineyards than any other leading house and which supply two thirds of its grape needs. Brut Premier (40 per cent pinot noir, 40 per cent chardonnay and 20 per cent pinot meunier) is one of my favourite non-vintage champagnes, with a distinctively rich, honeyed, biscuity and notably full-bodied style. Celebrations were made for this."
