The Champagne brand’s first vintage since 2004 has also launched worldwide, including in France, Italy, Holland, Japan, Belgium, Australia and the US.
The bottle has a suggested price of £49.99 and will be available in high-end on-trade accounts and prestige retail, such as Harrods.
The brand’s Chef de Caves, Regis Camus, told Drinks International at the launch event at Rib Room Bar & Restaurant, Jumeirah Carlton Tower, that the new vintage was “more elegant, charming and generous” than the 2004.
It is made from 49% Pinot Noir and 51% Chardonnay grapes from 17 Grand and Premier Cru; the wine was "in cellar for 6-7 years".
