If this doesn’t get your Great Gatsby going then I don’t know what will.  One of my favourite champagnes, this exceptionally stylish fizz from the Aÿ region has butterscotch and brioche, shortbread and crushed cashew characters on the nose, followed by crisp, lemony layers on the palate, all clad in a cloud of freshly rising dough and delicate effervescence.  Poised and ultimately elegant.

Sip with: crayfish blinis
