In the 19th century, convinced that they would be an ideal place to age wine, Charles Heidsieck decided to purchase chalk cellars dating back to Gallo-Roman times, located in the historic heart of Reims. This audacious decision turned out to be a stroke of genius since these cellars proved to be a peaceful haven where the humidity and 10°C temperature remain constant. An extraordinary ageing period of almost 11 years, gives this 100% Chardonnay cuvée an unparalleled complexity and texture.

The grapes were carefully hand-harvested, and vinification took place in the traditional method. In the spirit of a perpetual, true reserve wine, this Chardonnay dominated blend was composed of a high proportion of reserve wines, typically between 30 to 40% from previous blends of La Réserve which contributes a rare fullness and maturity. This cuvée was matured for three to four years on the lees in bottle in the 18-metre-deep chalk cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAWARDS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e92 Points - James Suckling, 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e91 Points - Decanter, 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e91 Points - IWSC, 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold Champagne Masters, 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorld Champion Classic NV Brut - CSWWC, 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[#intro]A charming, elegant \u0026amp; beautifully balanced Champagne, with a melange of refreshing citrus, pear \u0026amp; apricot...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41809690951747,"sku":"NVPALMERLARESERVE-1","price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/LaReserveBt.jpg?v=1726417955"},{"product_id":"champagne-palmer-co-rose-solera-nv","title":"Champagne Palmer \u0026 Co Rosé Solera NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Champagne Palmer \u0026amp; Co Rosé Solera is produced using the 'Solera' winemaking method.

Beyond the notion of vintage, Krug Grande Cuvée is always a blend of over 120 individual wines from more than 10 different years, expressing a fullness of flavours and aromas impossible to achieve with the wines of a single year.

The youngest is from the year 2016 and the oldest dates back to 1998. In all, reserve wines from the Maison’s extensive library make up 42% of the final blend, bringing the breadth and roundness so essential to each Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée. The final composition of this champagne is 44% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier. In all, over 20 years of careful craftsmanship were necessary to enjoy Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition.

As a Grower Champagne (Récoltant-Manipulant), they control the process from vineyard to bottle, allowing them to focus entirely on low yields, old vines, and extended aging. The Tradition Grand Cru Brut is Egly-Ouriet’s flagship non-vintage release, but its quality rivals many houses' prestige cuvées. Grapes for the Egly Ouriet Tradition are sourced exclusively from prime Grand Cru villages, primarily their family holdings in Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Verzenay - the heart of the Montagne de Reims, renowned for Pinot Noir. Unlike the legal minimum of 15 months for NV Champagne, Egly-Ouriet ages this wine for a minimum of 48 months (four years) on the lees. This long contact time creates a supremely rich, complex, and silky texture. The wines are bottled with a very low dosage (Brut), allowing the pure expression of the concentrated fruit to shine through. Deep gold in colour with a fine, lingering bead the nose is rich and complex with aromas of gingerbread, ripe orchard fruit (apple, pear), and toasted nuts, with a core of earthy minerality. The palate is broad, full-bodied, and highly textural. The long aging gives it incredible depth and a mouth-coating presence, finishing with powerful chalkiness and profound length.
