Awarded Silver by Master of Wine, Essi Avellan, who oversees the IWSC’s sparkling wine judging, this confident non-vintage bubbly has a high proportion of fruity Meunier, the Cinderella grape of the famous Champagne trio, which offers a juicy-apple character to complement the bright citrus, honeysuckle, frangipani and shortcrust pastry. A dependable Champagne at an attractive price point. Try this with fish and chips for something revelatory.
