| SPF-432. DEUTZ CLASSIC BRUT Decanter 5 Stars - OUTSTANDING: ‘Consistently a top scorer. It always has a relatively high proportion of reserve wine, and with extra ageing this gives increased depth, richness and complexity. A delightful, creamy-textured, wonderfully moreish fizz, drinking very well.’ |

| SPF-441. JACQUESSON BRUT CUVEE 733 Wine Enthusiast 94 - EDITORS’ CHOICE: Each year, the Jacquesson nonvintage is identified by a new cuvee number, meaning the vintage basis and the composition has changed. But not the style, which remains firmly dry, full of gravitas and intense quality. The wine has plenty of freshnmess, but the ripe fruit shows signs of opening out and becoming more complex.’ |

| SPF-442. KRUG GRAND CUVEE BRUT Wine Enthusiast 95: ‘A majestic Champagne. Its velvet texture, dominated by mature flavors, is toasty and rich, dense and complex.

No question–this is still one of the greatest nonvintage Champagnes .’ |

Then the texture and structure of this dense wine come through. It’s as much wine as Champagne, rich, the apple and fresh pear flavors vying with yeasty and a tense crispness. Worth aging, it will be even better in 3-4 years.’ |

| SPF-463. PLOYEZ-JACQUEMART BRUT Right down the middle styling between blacks and whites, but likely less meunier than many others in this band because it’s more structured, less soft, less easy, more serious. Fine. 93/100. |
