Serge Mathieu | Champagne

NV

Discovered in an exclusive Right Bank Paris wine bar, Serge Mathieu's Champagne is a revelation and is what really good Champagne is all about.

Brut Tradition NV

We thought when we first tasted it that it was a vintage Grande Marque Champagne. 2 stars in the Hachette Wine Guide—in our opinion it should be 3. This is a single grower Champagne made from Serge Mathieu's own grapes, using what producer Michel Jacob calls “borderline organic” winemaking techniques. The price is unbeatable—highly recommended.

Our tasting notes

The colour is golden hue with a crisp, honey-scented nose. The bubbles are small and concentrated and the wine exceptionally well balanced with just the right amount of acidity. Rich and creamy with an excellent finish. A Champagne to drink rather than taste. Exceptional.

Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Appellation: AC Champagne

Serge Mathieu Brut Prestige NV

After the huge success of the Mathieu's Brut Tradition—we have nearly bought them out of stock—we are pleased  to offer you their 'special cuvée' a small step up. Aged for four years, this is a deliciously rich and fruity champagne that will be perfect for drinking this summer. Terrific value and much better that most 'grand marque' non vintage champagnes which are far more expensive. Also in magnums.

Our tasting notes

With four years ageing, smaller, finer bubbles that blossom with delicate fruit flavours. Rich with lots of chardonnay and very good—this is a serious champagne that will continue to age well. For the serious champagne drinker.

Serge Mathieu Brut Rosé NV

Temporarily Out Of Stock

The 'Pink' made by Michel and Isabelle Mathieu is gorgeous—a beautifully made Pink Champagne that knocks spots off most of the Grand Cru Rosé Champagnes that are £10-20 a bottle more. Sadly, though, they only make a very small quantity so stocks are limited.. Recommend this Champagne to a friend

Our tasting notes

Clear salmon pink with a lovely fresh nose exuding fresh summer fruits. A full-bodied, soft and refreshing pink Champagne. Very high quality.

About Champagne

Good Champagne is the most delicious and exhilarating of all aperitifs. Made from the black Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier or Chardonnay grapes and sometimes from as many 200 communes for the bigger brands, the wines must be aged in the bottle for a minimum of 15 months in the deep chalk cellars in and around Epernay and Reims. While 90% of Champagne consumed in the UK is from the big brand Champagne houses, this is not the case in France which drinks 2/3 of the region's production and where the brands are nothing like as dominant.
