Product Information

Peter McCombie – Master of Wine, speaker, consultant and co-chair of the International Wine Challenge Our experts also pointed out that it's a great drink to have without food (in moderation, of course), so works well as a starting point for festivities before you move on to mellower options with your meal. Blue Top (non-vintage) – The primary House champagne. ( Composition: 70% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Meunier.) The Champagne Masters is a competition created and run by the drinks business, and is an extension of its successful Masters series for grape varieties, such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as regions like Rioja and Tuscany. The competition is exclusively for Champagne, and the entries were judged using Schott Zwiesel Cru Classic glasses supplied by Sensible Wine Services. The top wines were awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze medals according to their result, and those expressions that stood out as being outstanding received the ultimate accolade – the title of Champagne Master. Elegant and fresh with aromas of small red fruits such as raspberries and cherries, and a hint of spice on the finish.

Don’t serve it straight from the fridge Unless you prefer your champagne really cold, take the bottle out of the fridge 10 minutes before serving – the taste and aroma will be stunted if it's too cold. Chill with ice and water If your fridge is overflowing, chill the bottle in a container filled with ice and water – this works better than ice alone.

Smoked salmon and champagne The popular pairing of champagne with smoked salmon might be influenced more by status rather than taste, as historically both were considered expensive luxuries.
