- ($40; L617702) Light yellow. Deep, rich and honeyed, with powerful scents of ripe pear, apple and toasted nuts. A classic rendition of the house style, with serious weight and dense, chewy apple and pear flavors complicated by butter and toast accents. Finishes on a tangy note of orange zest. A really nice basic bottling.

- Pleasant perfume of spices and a fine toastiness. A full-flavored style of Champagne especially popular with the British.

- Value for money - as always with Bollinger:) Had it with a "Toast Skagen"; roasted toast with schrimps and whitefish roe. Everybody should always have a bottle of Bollinger in the fridge!"
