Jubilee Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru N.V, Hostomme
Catalogue Code:2004189
- Laurent Hostomme produces our Blanc de Blancs Champagne from his own vineyards, all located within the Grand Cru region of Chouilly. The blend is always 100% Chardonnay and aged for three years ‘sure latte’ for extra complexity. It is extremely elegant offering light floral notes and a refreshing acidity. This is the perfect aperitif Champagne to toast a Queen.
Sir Nigel's Marmalade Dundee Cake, 750g
Catalogue Code:2004028
- Feeling in an experimental mood one day, we took our already rather good Dundee cake and added a secret ingredient – a generous helping of Sir Nigel’s Vintage Orange Marmalade. The rich, bitter preserve adds an indefinable edge to the cake, thanks to the sharp oranges and soft chunks of peel. An excellent and lighter alternative to the traditional Christmas cake, it should go down very well at any time of year.

Strawberry Preserve, no.91
Catalogue Code:2003659
- This classic among English jams uses two types of strawberry: sweet and juicy Cambridge Favourite and little Tioga strawberries from Turkey, which keep their shape during cooking. Made with just the right amount of pure cane sugar, this needs no further explanation – it’s strawberry jam at its best.
