Champagne Lanson Le Rosé Label Brut Non-Vintage
Champagne Lanson Le Rosé Label Brut Non-Vintage, Based on the 2014 vintage and disgorged in December 2019 with eight grams per liter dosage, Lanson's NV Brut Le Rosé is showing nicely, offering up aromas of peach, crisp orchard fruit, pink grapefruit and warm brioche. Medium to full-bodied, chiseled and incisive, with a racy spine of acidity and a pretty pinpoint mousse, it concludes with a saline finish. This is quite tightly wound out of the gates, and I suspect it possesses a bit of upside. - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Medium to full-bodied, ample and pillowy, with a vibrant and enveloping core of fruit, racy acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse, it's a charming wine that's evolving slowly." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Champagne Pol Roger Pure Extra-Brut Non-Vintage
"Based on the 2015 vintage and disgorged with around 30 grams per liter dosage, the latest release of Pol Roger's NV Demi Sec Rich is showing beautifully, offering up aromas of honeycomb, ripe pears, brioche, frangipane and candied peel. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's elegantly textural, with racy acids, nicely integrated sugar and a precise finish. This works very well with certain desserts—think fruit tarts made with flaky pâte sucrée—and will pick up additional complexity, making it even more versatile at the table, with bottle age." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Champagne Lanson Noble Cuvée Brut 1998 Magnum
"Light yellow. Rich and smoky, with deep pit fruit aromas enlivened by zesty minerality. Round and fleshy, with peach and poached pear flavors braced by slow-mounting spiciness and citrus zest bite. Takes on a firm character on the finish, which is refreshingly brisk and impressively persistent. This could stand some patience but is plenty of fun to drink now. " - Josh Raynolds, Vinous
Champagne Lanson Le Vintage 2009 Magnum
"Disgorged in February 2017, Lanson's 2009 Brut Vintage is more immediate than its 2008 predecessor, bursting from the glass with notes of citrus oil, green apples, fresh peach and wheat toast. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and charming, it's bright and penetrating, but also comparatively giving and approachable for a young-vintage Lanson." - William Kelly, Wine Advocate
Colmant Cap Classique “Absolu” Zéro Dosage Non-Vintage
"Taut, linear, focused and appealingly bone dry, this all-Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs uses 16% "perpetual reserve" material dating back to 2006 and partial barrel fermentation of the base wine to create added complexity. Mouth-wateringly tangy and chiselled with salted lemon, biscuit and cashew flavours and thrilling palate length." - Tim Atkin MW
Colmant Cap Classique Brut Rosé Non-Vintage
"Labelled as a non-vintage MCC, this is dominated by base wine from the 2021 harvest. Marrying Pinot Noir from Franschhoek and Stellenbosch with 25% Chardonnay from Barrydale, Elgin and Franschhoek again, this benefited from the inclusion of 15% reserve material. Fresh, light and easy drinking with creamy bubbles and citrus and raspberry fruit." - Tim Atkin MW
Colmant Cap Classique Délice Nectar Non-Vintage
"Elegantly luscious yet still classic, this blend offers an exotic twist to the Colmant style. Franschhoek, Robertson and Elgin fruit were used in the 52% Pinot Noir and 48% Chardonnay blend. A portion (10%) of the wine underwent fermentation in French oak barrels and 20% of reserve wine from previous vintages was blended in to enhance intensity and complexity. Maturation time on lees is 24 months minimum. The wine was then degorged with the addition of a generous liqueur de dosage which added a unique twist to the gentle aroma and flavour." - Winemaker's notes

Bread and brioche notes from 30 months of autolysis are complemented by toast, aniseed, wild strawberry and lemon zest flavours and well-judged 6.8 grams of autolysis." - Tim Atkin MW
