As we get closer to Christmas, our champagne special offers keep getting better and better! This week, we’re promoting top of the range champagnes, with unbeatable prices on the most popular prestige cuvées. Why not make this festive season extra special and sample the best that champagne has to offer this Christmas.
A prestige cuvée, or tête de cuvée, is the very best champagne that a house produces and symbolises the ultimate in luxury. These can be vintage champagnes, like Dom Pérignon and Louis Roederer Cristal; or non-vintage and multi-vintage champagnes like Krug Grande Cuvée NV and Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle MV. Our tasting events offer a good opportunity to sample some of the best prestige cuvées in the market, alternatively we also organise private tastings.

Tense.” – Jancis Robinson MW 17.5+/20 |
