Harvested by hand in September, they are then transported to the winery where they are gently pressed quickly to avoid oxidation and to prevent harsh tannins and colour from black grapes from appearing in the wine. The vinification process then takes place for 2 weeks at 15˚C in Inox tanks. This helps to create a still wine, high in acidity and low in alcohol. The wine is then created by blending red and white grapes base wines to a chosen quality/style that is preferred by the Champagne House. The blend is then transferred to the bottle along with the liquor de tirage (yeast nutrients, sugar and clarifying agent). The second fermentation occurs in the bottle which creates the sparkling wine. The wine is left to mature in the bottle for a minimum of 15 months, the sediment is then removed and the dosage (between 10-14 g/l) is added.

I got this last week for £8 and thought it was a price glitch. Tastes delicious actually. Heat from me

Nonsense. Do you think the brand marketing makes it taste better? Unless the only reason you buy it is so you can be seen to drink an expensive product. In which case, you shouldn't buy it because you evidently lack the ability to understand and appreciate why it is expensive in the first place.

4 and a half years putting your oar in on this site and can't be bothered to post a single deal! If you did you'd soon find out how dispiriting idiotic comments like this are...If everyone was like you HUKD would be dead in a week.

Most brand name champagne that is sold in supermarkets for 20-30 quid is the inferior second press but people prefer to think there fancy drinking a brand ..... Even if they are overpaying just for the make

So if it's a special occasion you happy to give this stuff or would you fork out for a bottle of Lanson , Moet etc ?

I have tried most of the 'branded' champagnes and bought this one at Christmas as Wot Wine rated it highly. Wasn't disappointed at all and this price is a steal. Will buy again
