| SPARKLING & CHAMPAGNE |
| CHAMPAGNE |
|
A revered region of France near Paris consisting of 35000 hectares, of which 31000 is under vine. Traditionally a blend
of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, these wines spend years developing in their bottles, in cellars, under
the towns and cities of Champagne. When released from the cellar Champagne delivers a wine with the finest bead
or bubble and a texture and flavour spectrum to enchant all who indulge. Champagne is the ultimate expression of
celebration! |
