Champagne Jacquart Mosaique Brut
96 pts – Decanter World Wine Awards 2023
Quite classy and carefully composed, showing attractive aromas of peaches, apples, honey and touches of honeysuckle. Delicious on the palate, with a silky mousse.
Champagne Jacquart Mosaique Rosé
92 pts – Huon Hooke (The Real Review)
Full salmon-pink colour with a rich, ripe, raspberry to strawberry nose, bold and fruity, building lovely toast and brioche complexities. A very attractive mix of fruit and tirage-developed characters. The wine is rich and full-bodied, loaded with flavour but not at the expense of finesse. Long carry. A very smart rosé in a fuller, more generous style.
2014 Champagne Jacquart Mono Cru Cepage Chouilly
Champagne Jacquart has given its superb collection of vintages time to mature over several seasons and become a showcase for its expertise and wealth of vineyard sites. Each of the labels turns the spotlight on one of the grapes that forms the company’s varietal mosaic. At the end of 2019, Champagne Jacquart unveiled the first, limited edition opus in the collection: Chouilly Grand Cru Vintage 2014, available in limited edition of 1000 bottles across the world.
2016 Champagne Jacquart Mono Cru Villers Marmery Brut
The palate displays the same burst of joyous aromatics with notes of mentholated verbena, spring flowers and citrus fruits. An extremely fine, long thread of tension offers a backbone to the palate, with stellar quality acidity imbuing it with gentle, flavourful length. The final sensation recalls nature in all its fresh, radiant glory.
2010 Champagne Jacquart Cuvee Alpha Brut
95 points – Huon Hooke (The Real Review)
Fullish straw-yellow colour with a dried herb, savoury, straw and hay bouquet, which seems to need time in the glass (or the bottle) to develop and open. It’s rich and full in the mouth, showing good concentration and amplitude, the aftertaste lingering long after the wine has gone. The mouth flavours include lemon and gardenia, superbly underlined by vibrant acidity. Very good, and it could benefit from a little more time in a cellar.
2013 Rotari Flavio Riserva
94 pts – Barry Weinman (Fine Wine Club)
100% Chardonnay, this opens with creamy vanillin hints, stonefruit (peach) and brioche/lees notes. The lees characters are remarkably integrated given the extended time on lees (9 years). This is quite delicious. There is richness to the fruit up front, but this gradually gives way to refreshing acidity and supple textural grip. A serious wine with excellent length and persistence of flavours and lovely texture. Made in an extra-brut style, remarkably, this has less than 2gms/l of dosage. It comes from the Trento DOC in the Trentino region and is made using the Methode Champenoise. 50% of the fruit saw barrel ferment and malolactic fermentation. Disgorged in 2022 and only 3000 bottles produced.

NV Nino Franco ‘Rustico’ Prosecco DOCG
95 pts – Kim Brebach (BWU20)
Very classy Prosecco. Understated, soft but somehow firm as well. Aromas of honey, pear, stone fruits and citrus. Fine acidity and a mousse with a gentle flow of bubbles. Fine m inerals on the finish.
2021 Nino Franco ‘Primo Franco’ Prosecco DOCG
91 pts – Jeff Porter (Wine Enthusiast)
Lively and vibrant from the first pour, this wine shows why Nino Franco is a leading Prosecco producer. Aromas of Pink Lady apples, tropical fruits and candied ginger intermingle with distinct minerality. The palate is creamy with a soft mousse highlighting orchard fruits with a touch of candied citrus.
2019 Nino Franco ‘Nodi’ Prosecco DOCG
93 pts – Kerin O’Keefe (Wine Enthusiast)
Aromas of fragrant spring flowers and orchard fruits lead the nose. On the compelling palate, rather fresh acidity and an elegant perlage accompany ripe pear, peach and a hint of lemon drop candy.
2016 Nino Franco ‘Grave di Stecca’ Prosecco DOCG
95 pts – Kerin O’Keefe (Wine Enthusiast)
Light and airy, this lovely sparkler has inviting aromas of ripe white stone fruit, spring blossoms and baking spice. On the dry, foaming palate, an elegant perlage and fresh acidity accompany ripe yellow apple, Bartlett pear, vanilla pastry cream and a hint of white almond.
NV Mezza di Mezzacorona Italian Glacial Sparkling
91 pts – Angus Hughson (The Wine Pilot)
They call the Mezza a glacial sparkling wine thanks to its home in the cool Italian Alps. It’s a unique blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Muller Thurgau, and is made in a similar way to Prosecco creating a bright, fresh and juicy sparkling wine. This wine is unique and elegant with its chalky, baked apple and citrus fruits plus a faint floral edge. It’s then dry, crisp and light weight with gentle earthy flavours finishing fine and long.
NV Mezza di Mezzacorona Italian Glacial Sparkling Rosé
91 pts – Barry Weinman (Fine Wine Club)
A blend of chardonnay, Müller-Thurgau and pinot noir, made in the Charmat method. Here, the aim is for freshness. As with NV champagne, the aim is to produce a consistent style from batch to batch and year to year. But there is also a fair bit of work done to the base wine in terms of battonage to build texture in the wine to add complexity and differentiate it from Prosecco.
NV Rotari Riserva Brut Italian Sparkling
92 pts – Ultimate Wine Challenge
Bring lemon yellow color. Vibrant, egg shell colored mousse is persistent. First inhalations detect bread dough, biscuit batter, dry stone. Taste profile features a toasty, fizzy, chardonnay thumbprint of tart green apple, gooseberry, pear flavors that last long and firmly into the dry aftertaste.

Pale pink – solid, fresh, long, solid line. Lots of fun there, power length. Very good.
NV Astrale Prosecco DOC
93 pts – Kim Brebach (BWU20)
Peppe Randazzo, is originally from Sicily, but has also worked in Tuscany, New Zealand and California, making this a truly international wine. Winemaker Peppe Randazzo calls Sicily home, but has worked around the globe, from California to New Zealand. This bubbly is a dry Prosecco with a lot of flavour, serving up warm bread, stonefruit and a squeeze of lemon. Lovely wine.
