• Renard Barnier - Villevenard |
Produced by a small old established family company of growers, who have vineyards at Villevenard, where they are based, as well as SW of the Marne at Aube and Sezannes and Vertus on the Cote des Blancs. It is a Blanc de Noirs made from the Pinot Meunier grape, which is the same as Bollinger’s costly Vieilles Vignes Francaises. The must is fermented in stainless steel followed by the malolactic fermentation. The assemblage or blending takes place in June prior to bottling, followed by 3 years of aging in their chalk cellars. So, by the time it is consumed, the wine is 4-5 years old and has a wonderful colour because of its age and from the pigment in the skin of the grapes themselves.

• De Venoge – Epernay |
Established in 1837 by a Swiss family whose name was derived from the River Venoge which runs into Lake Geneva. Their House Motto of “attention to detail is the hallmark of a great Champagne” rings true in all their cuvees. The majority of their grapes comes from their own vines and they only ever use the first pressing to obtain the purest fruit and still employ vertical presses which gives minimal skin contact, thus avoiding discolouration of the juice and allowing fewer solids into the must.

PROSECCO
Prosecco comes from the NE of Italy on the hills of Treviso, north of Venezia, in the region of Veneto. Fast becoming one of those fashionable drinks, as it is not too gassy – only about 50% of the pressure of champagne. Fairly light in alcohol - about 10.5% - and very easy to drink.
