Champagne

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.

A perfect balance between freshness and finesse, the palate is full bodied, complex and creamy, displaying great length on the finish.

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.

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 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.

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.

A brilliant straw colour, with hints of amber, Lanson has a fine stream of persistent bubbles. The nose is vibrant with hints of toast and flowers leading onto a palate of citrus and ripe fruits.

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.

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.

Unusually made by the saignée method, with plenty of stylish strawberry fruit, full of vivacity and easy-drinking charm. A wonderfully refreshing apéritif, it also works well with a variety of dishes.

You'll taste two centuries of expertise in notes of toast and pear that drift through these elegant bubbles.
