Remember Remember the Fifth of November, Gunpowder, Treason and Plot...
Well anyway, enough with that. Yes, its that time of year again, the nights are drawing in and the smell of sulphur is hanging on the autumn breeze. It can only mean Bombfire Night is imminent...
What better way to celebrate this most explosive of holidays than with a glass of Bubbly?
Nicolas Maillart is a seriously tallented young man, making exceptional grower Champagne for his Premier Cru vineyards. These wines may not hae the prestige of the Grandes Marques name behing them, but the knock spots off them on both pricepoint and in most cases quality!
Nicolas makes an amazing Brut NV ( NV Champagne Maillart Brut Platine 1er Cru [Buy Now: £150.00] ), which is made from 100% 1er Cru vines. Now when was the last time you saw a Premier Cru Champagne at £22.50? Nicolas also makes a spectacular Grand Cru Rose ( N.V. Champagne Maillart, Brut Rose Grand Cru [Buy Now: £195.00] ) that is simply perfect for a celebration.
Nicolas's wines (as you can probably tell) are particular favourites of mine and at the risk of dropping a bad pun, they really do go off with a bang!
