Fortnum's Blanc de Blancs Quarter Bottle NV, Hostomme, 20cl

The Hostomme family has been making Champagne in Chouilly since at least the 19th century and has been a Fortnum’s partner for over 30 years. This elegant Blanc de Blancs is made exclusively for us, entirely from Chardonnay (the only variety allowed in Blanc de Blancs) from their own vineyards, and the wine is aged for three years ‘sur latte’ – that is, lying horizontal on wooden racks. The result is lightly floral with thirst-quenching acidity: an ideal Champagne for an aperitif, or paired with fish in a buttery sauce.
