Founded in 1776, Champagne Louis Roederer remain one of the few family owned Champagne houses. For two centuries, six succeeding generations have been inspired by the same concern for quality. Jean-Claude Rouzaud, grandson of Madame Camille Olry-Roederer is referred to as the Sage of Champagne. Louis Roederer's fundamental advantage lies in its superb 190-hectare vineyard, which rates 97.5% on the official classification scale, and covers the Pinot Noir crus of Montagne de Reims and Valley de la Marne, with Chardonnay from the Cotes des Blanc.

Carte Blanche incorporates the three noble Champagne varietals from more than forty different plots. The wine is an assemblage of six vintages, a component matured in oak casks with weekly batonnage and portion from the Louis Roederer Reserve, wines from great vintages which have been matured in oak casks over several years. The Carte Blanche remains on lees for three years under the Louis Roederer cellars, rested for six months after disgorgement and dosage of 45 gms per litre prior to release.

$4499each $539DOZEN EACH DOZEN The secret of Lustau lies in its ageing and blending. This very special old Sherry consists of many different wines taken from butts containing wines of different ages. The work of blending is an art, practised by the winemakers who use all their five senses, but especially the sense of smell. In the laboratory, small quantities of wines from different butts are blended, before an amount of wine alcohol required to fortify the Amontillado is decided for each individual batch. Serve at a cooler room temperature. Alcohol 18.5%
