Champagne

Blend

The blend or cuvée refers to the general blend of a champagne. This can be a blend of varieties, a blend of vintages (non-vintage or close vintage), a blend of sites or villages, or even a combination of the three.

The traditional champagne mantra is that blending is all important, however we are starting to see increased promotion of single village and lieux dits wines as well as more varietal champagnes.

Explore our other Champagnes: the Blanc de Noirs made from Pinot & Meunier, Blanc de Blancs made from 100% Chardonnay, Rosé wines, and 100% Meuniers!

Champagne Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy Purete (Base 13 14) Brut Nature NV
There's a lot to enjoy now and it'll be hard to keep your hands off it! Excellent, tension, playful, with personality. Plenty going on layered very complex. The quality of fruit is clear, wonderful depth and length.  A little edge of honey development. Baking spice crème pâtissière layer in. The balance of the 3 varieties makes for a very complete wine. All showing their form and making for a wine greater than the sum of its parts. My preference for fizz with a little development will be ric

Blend | Montagne de Reims, France

Fresh & delicious with energy, it's vital, alive! This is excellent. Fresh & delicious with energy, it's vital, alive. The blend makes for a Pinot heart shape with a Chardonnay tail giving it length. At 3g/l the fruit quality is shining through. Depth and length, fresh red fruits with a little citrus underneath. Acid balance on the money. Excellent expression. Just the right amount of grip. Ruby grapefruit, pith. Great fizz.

Champagne Laherte Frères Ultradition Extra Brut Base 21 (Disg. Feb 2024) NV
Balanced, flowing & long. The Ultratradition has immediate generosity yet the tension needed to give it energy. Fun wine of complexity.Fine with a floral nose and red fruit / pink lady. The Meunier shines bright at 60%, with backbone and complexity from 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot. 40% of the blend is reserve wines, and it certainly shows in the mid-palate weight, line, and length. A nice bit of lees contact gives it a seamless flow. Lovely mousse and mouthfeel. Delicious fizz!
Original price was: $140.Current price is: $118.

Brut Nature wines by default have nothing to hide behind so the fruit has to do the talking ... JM's is positively SHOUTING! Excellent purity. Singular, refined. Superb love the line and length with excellent harmony. Pithy, layered, red berries. Excellent secondary development. Although the call is that this is the standard Solessence with no dose, it clearly is not. For a start it's the base vintage is 4 years older, & it has been disgorged for almost 2 years. I can't understate just how m
