The fruity nose of bright red apple and notes of lime is dominating, along with notes of white flower, honeysuckle and acacia flower aromas. On the palate, the bubbles are delicate, and a welcome green spine of celery and lime cordial rein in those rich flavours and textures, making for a complex fizz with a ripe strawberry finish.

It seems crazy that grand Cru fizz can be obtained so cheaply. Superb.

The grapes for this house come from the Bouzy Grand Cru and are a blend of 20% Chardonnay and 80% Pinot Noir. With notes of dried fruits, toasted brioche and pretty red fruits on the finish.

100% Grand Cru, 100% delicious. A Martinez exclusive that's drinking well now but with plenty of scope for development.

This is a crisp, fruity Brut Champagne with honey, pastry and wonderful balance.

Pale yellow colour with greenish reflections, denoting a good evolution in bottle. Very fine, persistent bubbles that form a perfect crown. The nose stands out for its freshness and elegance. Aromas of ripe white stone fruit, such as apple, with subtle floral notes and a delicate touch of pastry. The palate is balanced, fresh and creamy. Smooth mouthfeel, given by a good integration of the bubbles, appearing pleasant toasted notes and an aniseed finish.
