Champagne Chauvet - Tim Atkin's Christmas Fizz Recommendations
Every single member of the Private Cellar team is a big fan of Chauvet's delicious champagne but if you need further convincing, just look at all the press attention this delicious fizz has been receiving recently!
This is from Tim Atkin MW's article on "Top Festive Bubbles" in the 16th November edition of the Observer:
"The recent Dispatches documentary 'investigating' the wine industry talked a lot of tosh, but one thing it did get right was to highlight the poor quality of at least a third of the wine sold as champagne. With Christmas looming, the cut-price deals will be more prevalent than ever. My advice is to resist them. Under £12, you are much better off buying a bottle of sparkling wine from elsewhere and saving your tooth enamel.
So what should you buy this Christmas? Here are 16 of my current favourites, from party fizz to the finest champagnes:
Henri Chauvet champagne, blanc de noirs
(£17.43, 12%, Private Cellar, 01353 721 999)
A blend of 90% pinot noir and 10% pinot meunier, this is so good that a mate of mine is serving it at his wedding. It's a rich, if youthful fizz with attractive, biscuity flavours."
And that's not all: if you order your Champagne before the end of December, you will only pay our special Christmas Offer price of £15.78 per bottle!
