Champagne

Bouvet is made with the same 'traditional method' as Champagne. But it's crafted from Chenin Blanc grapes. This pumps up the biroche-and-citrus-packed body of the juice. It's a steal.

Soft and rich with subtle vanilla hints. Ideal as an apéritif.

Perhaps the best known Champagne, the Brut Imperial from Moët embodies their house style: crisp and clean, this classic Champagne shows citrus aromas and hints of biscuity flavours.

It's no wonder that Nicolas Feuillatte is France's most popular Champagne. You'll taste what's driving the French connoisseurs crazy in refined hints of apple, pear and citrus.

This boasts elegant swathes of red cherry, raspberry and refined blossom notes that drift through its delicate mousse. It's pink Champagne at the top of its game.

From the maker of Cristal, a deliciously rich Champagne, with an overt fruitiness and nutty, yeasty notes. A long, complex and rewarding finish is a hallmark of the house style.

Veuve Clicquot's fizz is a superb marriage of freshness and power. Rich notes of apricot, vanilla and brioche drift through a mouth-filling mousse.

Bollinger is made from first-run juice only, and the majority of vineyards used have Premier and Grand Cru status, resulting in a full-bodied Champagne of great class. Delightful pale gold in colour.

Krug's uncompromising and single-minded determination to produce the best Champagne is legendary. Unquestionably one of the finest Champagnes in the world.

Champagne for less than £16? It really is possible. And, with swathes of toast, citrus and golden apple, this really doesn't skimp on quality to bring great-value fizz to your flute.

From Champagne's oldest cellars, this Champagne has peach and acacia notes on the nose, a citrus-fresh yet delicately honeyed palate, and a beautiful, elegant finish.

It's made in the same 'traditional method' as Champagne. But because it's from the Loire Valley, it's a fraction of the usual asking price.
