A three-bottle selection of distinctive European wines chosen for depth, individuality and a strong sense of place. Champagne, Premier Cru Pouilly-Fuissé and a mature Spanish red bring together three contrasting styles suited to special occasions, gifting or the table.

Deep gold with an exceptionally fine, steady bead.
Nose
Mandarin peel, dried apricot and quince are layered with brioche, toasted almond, hazelnut and discreet vanilla.
