Champagne

Veuve Clicquot ages their non-vintage for almost twice the required time, resulting in a superb marriage of freshness and power, with rich fruit and a mouth-filling mousse.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 a delicate pink bursting with elegant swathes of raspberry, peach, white flowers and a fine mousse.

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

Representing Heidsieck's Pinot-dominant, rich yet approachable house style, this cuvée offers a harmonious balance between crisp golden fruit.

The bouquet spirals through sweet, bright floral notes and the lively minerality so typical of Dom Pérignon.

Pol Roger's historic underground cellars are 33m deep. They thus provide an environment uniquely suited to slow fermentation, and are responsible for this Champagne's famously super-fine mousse.
