Eight champagne houses, all imported by us. We try very hard to make our portfolio as good as it can be, and we put a lot of time into it.

The champagnes

Discover our champagnes

A deliberate mix of areas, grapes and styles, from classic to outspoken. We tasted every bottle ourselves.

Every style explained

What the style tells you about the bottle

In Champagne the label gives little away. The style does: grape, dosage, vintage or plot. For each style you will find what to expect and which bottles belong to it.

How we choose

How a bottle makes it into our selection

A bottle only earns its place when it adds something to the selection. Jim is one of only around 490 people in the world to hold the Champagne Master-Level title from the Wine Scholar Guild.

  • We judge on hard criteria: value for money, whether the house can back up its work, and whether the style really adds something to what we already carry.
  • Every house brings something of its own: Grand Cru Chardonnay from Oger, Pinot Noir from Avenay Val d'Or, Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne, and at Liébart-Régnier all seven permitted grape varieties.
  • Two bottles that look the same can be made in completely different ways. For every bottle here, we can tell you how.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

Where do your champagnes come from?

From eight champagne houses in Champagne, in villages such as Oger, Boursault, Cuchery and Courmas. We import all our champagnes ourselves. The houses are listed at the top of this page, each with a page of its own.

Why are there no big brands?

Because we choose based on what is in the glass, not on a famous name. Only what adds something to the selection gets in.

How do I choose from the range?

Choose by style (grape, dosage, vintage) with the buttons above the bottles, or start with one of the eight houses. Torn between two bottles? Send us a message: you get an answer from someone who has tasted every bottle.

What is the difference between Brut and Extra Brut?

The difference is the dosage, the small amount of sugar added after dégorgement. Brut contains up to 12 grams of residual sugar per litre, Extra Brut 0 to 6 grams. That makes Extra Brut taste drier and tighter.
