CHAMPAGNE TAITTINGER
FOUNDED IN 1734
About Champagne Taittinger
Founded in 1734, Champagne Taittinger, one of the greatest market leaders and most respected Champagne Houses, is one of the few remaining family-owned and operated Champagne Houses.
Taittinger owns a total of 280 hectares of vineyards, situated in the best villages in Champagne. This ensures the regular supply of high quality grapes for the production of its delicate, finely-balanced Champagnes, which has gained worldwide recognition amongst connoisseurs. Two thirds of Taittinger’s production is exported and can be found in more than 150 countries worldwide.
Taittinger Brut Réserve
Taittinger Brut Réserve is a blend of 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from over 35 different vineyards and vintages matured to perfection.
This high proportion of Chardonnay, unique amongst fine non-vintage champagnes, and a minimum ageing of 3 years in the cellars, where it reaches the peak of aromatic maturity, makes Taittinger Brut Réserve a delicately balanced champagne, known for its consistent excellent quality all over the world.
Tasting Notes:
The brilliant body is golden yellow in colour. The bubbles are fine, while the foam is discreet yet lingering. The nose, very open and expressive, delivers aromas of fruit and brioche. It also gives off the fragrance of peach, white flowers and vanilla pod. The entry onto the palate is lively, fresh and in total harmony. This is a delicate wine with flavours of fresh fruit and honey. Taittinger Brut Réserve which acquires its maturity during 3-4 years ageing in the cellar, offers excellent aromatic potential.
Drinking Suggestions:
Taittinger Brut Réserve is the champagne for any occasion. A symbol of festivity, this wine is the ideal partner of celebration for the happiest milestones in a lifetime.
Taittinger Prestige Rosé
Taittinger Prestige Rosé immediately stands out for its intense, shimmering hue which secret lies in the fact that it’s a blend which is more complex and costly to produce. A quantity of still red wine (15%) produced from the best Pinot Noirs from Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys is in fact added to the final blend to give this cuvée its unmistakable colour and vibrant intensity on the palate.
The high proportion of Chardonnay (30%) that completes the blend brings the elegance and delicacy that underpins Taittinger’s signature style.
Tasting Notes:
The intense and brilliant body is bright pink in colour. The bubbles are fine and the mousse persistent. The full nose, wonderfully expressive, is both fresh and young. It gives off aromas of red fruits (freshly crushed wild raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant). On the palate this wine strikes a fine balance of a velvety texture and full body taste. The flavours are reminiscent of fresh, crisp red fruits. The palate can be summed up in four words; lively, fruity, fresh and elegant … as only a rosé blend can be.
Drinking Suggestions:
Taittinger Prestige Rosé can be enjoyed both early on and at the end of an evening. Deliciously fragranced for an aperitif, it is also a subtle accompaniment to fruit desserts, including fruit tart, fruit salad and red fruit crumble.
Taittinger Demi Sec
The Demi-Sec cuvée reflects the style and values of the Taittinger House. This seductive and complex champagne, is a delight to discover or rediscover. The Demi-Sec is made with 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier. The grapes are sourced from 40 different vineyards and multiple harvests, and are matured to perfection. The wine is cellar-aged for over five years before being disgorged. With a dosage of 33g/litre of sugar, this differentiates it from the Brut Réserve, providing it with a specific sweetness to favour its pairing with desserts.
Tasting Notes:
The colour of the wine is pale golden yellow. The bubbles are fine and the mousse is abundant and persistent. The nose is suggestive of delicate hints of honey and ripe fruit, with overtones of greengages and elderflowers. The first impression on the palate is lively, acidulated and soft, with citrus (mandarin) predominant, backed by peaches in syrup and dried figs. It has an end which is extraordinarily soft and notably full and long-lasting. All in all, a rounded, sweet and mellow wine of great charm and sensuality.
Drinking Suggestions:
Taittinger Demi Sec is a gourmet wine. Its sweetness and mellowness, combined with the dosage, make it an ideal accompaniment to most desserts, including chocolate cake, strawberry charlotte and warm madeleines.
Taittinger Brut Millésimé 2012
Taittinger only produces a vintage Champagne when the harvest is of exceptional quality.

NO.3 LONDON DRY GIN
over 300 years of heritage
About No. 3 London Dry Gin
No. 3 is the London Dry Gin distilled to a proprietary recipe of Berry Bros. & Rudd, London’s oldest wine and spirit merchant. With over 300 years of heritage, tradition and expertise that allow BBR to make this claim, and a reputation as a business that is trusted to offer the finest products.
Overlooking St James’s Palace in the heart of London, No.3 St. James’ Street has been home to Berry Bros. & Rudd since 1698. Holding two Royal Warrants, Berry Bros. & Rudd continues to supply the royal family, as it has done since the reign of King George III.
It is this historic address that inspired the name for No.3 London Dry Gin, a gin born of the merchant’s three centuries of experience. The key on the bottle was inspired by the key to the lock in the door of the parlour at the heart of the shop of No.3. Just as the liquid itself is steeped in tradition, so too is the high shouldered green bottle in which No.3 finds itself, inspiration being drawn from the open pontil gin bottles that date back to the 17th century.
As Simon Berry recounts; “The aim was simple. To create the perfect gin, with juniper at its heart, for making the Classic Dry Martini. Because if a gin can make a dry Martini it’s going to be extremely good however else you want to mix it.”
TASTING NOTES:
Nose:
Bright, crisp and fresh with an uplifting welcome of juniper.
Palate:
Juniper to the fore, supported by floral notes and spicy, warm cardamom. Plenty of citrus “zing” complemented by the gingery spiciness of coriander.
Finish:
The earthy dryness of angelica kicks in.
“On the nose there’s an instant and welcome hit of piney juniper with citrus and coriander very evident. In the mouth the juniper develops into a crispness nicely balanced by a soft spiciness. A classic.”
Geraldine Coates – Author: The Mixellany Guide to Gin

FERNET-BRANCA
Founded in 1845
About Fernet-Branca
Founded in 1845, Fernet-Branca maintains throughout time its personality and originality. Its secret formula, passed from generation to generation, is a great example of experience and passion of “doing”, which has guaranteed over time the excellent quality of Fernet-Branca.
Fernet-Branca is an all-natural aromatic bitter (amaro). Sourced from 4 continents, the 27 herbs, roots and spices are the basis which gives the typical brown colour of the liquid, then infused in alcohol, extracted and slowly matured in Slavonian oak barrels for a year. To drink Fernet-Branca is not only an experience of the palate but also of the mind, an authentic cognitive journey across the tastes of 4 continents.
The discovery of Fernet-Branca is an adventurous journey amidst flavours and emotions. It is a unique journey that is bound to establish a new and intense relationship that will last a lifetime. Three sips to get to know each other and be together forever.
Sip 1 … The first sip is rapture and the sudden discovery of something unexpected; truth reveals itself. The natural bitter taste of Fernet-Branca and its herbs presents itself firmly to the palate, and like the beginning of a great novel reveals its quality while concealing its secrets. Just when you start to think that it might be best to give up, you are drawn by the curiosity to have another sip.
Sip 2 … The start of an engaging journey, where you discover the wide range of spices that interact harmoniously and secretly. The palate senses the depth of the flavour from the botanical herbs and spices and begins, on its own, to recompose the structure of the Fernet-Branca taste. The nose picks up the myrrh and its unexpected softness, while the bitter taste becomes sophisticated, tannic and pleasantly balsamic.
Sip 3 … As you take the 3rd sip, the pleasure remains, and is emboldened by the challenges of your journey thus far. The pleasure highlights the most reassuring aromas of the spices and freshness of the herbs, and finally reveals the exotic side of Fernet-Branca. The experience has now transformed and the sweeter and more delicate notes of the plants and flowers come to the fore, leaving the bitter taste in the background. The olfactory perception is completed and the palate is ready to welcome new discoveries from all future sips.

Elegant and well-balanced sparkling wine, Veuve du Vernay Brut Rose is a well balanced blend of Syrah, Cinsault and Grenache.
TASTING NOTES:
Fresh and delicate, a vivid pink colour giving off an expressive bouquet of red fruits complemented by smooth, velvety bubbles and raspberry and red fruit flavours on the palate.
