New bubbles on the list

I am thrilled to present our newest arrival to our wine list.



Moutard Champagne Chardonnay " Champ Persin"


Champagne Moutard has been a traditional family run business since the 17th century now run by François Moutard and his sisters who are fervent defenders of the family heritage.


The vineyards are located on the slopes of the Cotes des Bar in the southern part of Champagne. The clay and chalky soil of the Cotes des Bar gives a rich and very specific aroma to the traditional champagne vines.


The 'Persin' is all-Chardonnay (therefore blanc de blancs) from a single vineyard, and is a rare and highly awarded Champagne aged for a minimum of 3 and a half years to give it it’s distingtive delicate bouquet offering citrus, tea and fresh hazelnut notes. It is a champagne with good weight through to a lingering finish with pale lemon colour.

All this makes for a delightfully fresh Champagne that matches beautifully with almost any seafood.
