With no added sugar (dosage), Brut Nature lets the grapes and terroir shine, delivering a tantalisingly dry and refreshing taste. The purest expression of champagne’s character.
With an incredibly low dosage, Extra Brut offers a harmonious balance between crispness and a touch of richness — vibrantly zesty and luxuriously dry.
The classic champagne style. Combining a dry to slightly off-dry profile with a perfect balance of fruitiness and refreshing acidity, Brut champagne is the most versatile and widely enjoyed style.
With a slightly higher dosage, Extra Sec offers a refined and nuanced experience — fruity notes dancing alongside vibrant bubbles with a subtle touch of sweetness.
With a medium level of residual sugar, Sec champagne delicately balances the region’s signature acidity with a touch of luscious sweetness.
With a higher dosage of residual sugar, Demi-Sec champagne offers a rich and opulent experience — ideal with desserts and sweet dishes.
The sweetest champagne style, Doux boasts the highest dosage of residual sugar — a rare and indulgent treat for those who love sweetness.
Crafted by blending wines from different years, Non-Vintage champagne ensures a consistent house style with every bottle. The most widely available and approachable category.
Made from a single exceptional year, Vintage champagne captures the unique character of that specific harvest — reflecting the climate, terroir, and artistry of the winemaker. Each bottle tells a story.
Also known as Luxury Cuvée, Multi-Vintage champagne is a harmonious blend of exceptional wines from extraordinary years combined with reserve wines. The pinnacle of champagne craftsmanship.
Grand Cru champagnes come from the most prestigious villages in the Champagne region, producing grapes of unparalleled quality. Every bottle reflects exceptional finesse, complexity, and a true sense of place.
Slightly below Grand Cru in classification, Premier Cru vineyards produce grapes that embody the elegance and finesse for which Champagne is renowned — offering a captivating balance between quality and value.
Autre Cru vineyards contribute their own unique charm and flavours to the region’s tapestry. An excellent way to explore lesser-known terroirs and discover distinctive champagnes.
