For decadence that can be sipped, champagne is hard to beat.
It is the classic choice for celebration whatever the time
of day. Perfect for any occasion it can be drunk on its own or paired with
food.
If you want to enjoy fully a mature champagne’s aromas and
complexity, try serving it in a white wine glass.
Here are my favourite non-vintage champagnes for the
holidays.
Pol Roger Brut Reserve Champagne NV, ABV 12.5%, £42.99, (Save
1/3 when you order by 30/12/2017 and pay only £28.66 ocado.com)
Reputed to be Winston Churchill’s preferred choice and one of the best non-vintage champagnes on the market, this powerful fizz, from a highly-regarded family-owned house, will tantalise your taste buds. Oozing peach and pineapple aromas with a smattering of nuts and honey, it is a well-balanced elixir that oozes elegance and sophistication. Heaven in a glass.

This house, another independent family set-up, is renowned for producing excellent quality bubbly. Brimming with nuances of apples and pears complemented with red berries tinged with subtle notes of toast and almonds, this complex golden liquid is velvety smooth on the palate. A champagne to be savoured.
