Champagne: Vintage

'A great vintage champagne with some elegant aromas of citrus and Danish pastry, and an elegant palate with a gentle structure.'
Lionel Periner, team leader.

'A crowd pleaser that's youthful, with white flowers, grapefruit, Bramley apples and aniseed. It's dry, elegant and focused, quite lean and delicate, with a creamy texture and a long finish.'
Matthieu Longuère MS, team leader.

£107.80 Hatch Mansfield, Matthew Clark

'Complex and developed, yet youthful. There's lovely freshness, with a floral, easy style, but chalkiness too, and a pure and creamy element.'
