Clos de la Chappelle Brut Instinct Premier Cru Champagne $59.90 ★★★★★La Chappelle label

Wow!  Five star champagne for under sixty dollars? I know, it’s head-scratching stuff, but best you get a move on, dust off the wallet and grab some quick because with Christmas looming there’ll be precious little left soon.  I love the hints of ginger and malt alongside luscious lemon and almond notes on the nose and the deliciously balanced, pure, lovely mouthfeel.  It’s exceptionally well made and represents eyebrow-raising value for money.  www.finewinedelivery.co.nz
