Ca' Del Bosco Cuvee Prestige Franciacorta Edition 47
Ca' Del Bosco Cuvee Prestige Franciacorta Edition 47
Ca' Del Bosco · The Whisky Exchange

Filled with brioche, lemongrass and stone fruit, Edition 47 is a blend of 82% Chardonnay, 16% Pinot Nero and 2% Pinot Bianco grapes. Like Drappier's Carte d'Or, this is a grower-focused sparkler that prioritizes terroir and character over mass-production polish. The Pinot Nero component gives you that same warm, generous red-fruit generosity with brioche complexity, while the Chardonnay adds the stone-fruit and lemongrass brightness you'd find in quality Champagne. You'll discover what Italian sparkling can achieve when made with the same philosophy as small Champagne houses—Edition 47 shows real finesse and aging potential without the famous-name markup. The blend's complexity rewards sipping seriously, and at specialist merchants it often undercuts equivalent Champagne by £10–15.

Gosset Petite Douceur Rose Extra Dry NV Champagne

Gosset · The Whisky Exchange

Gosset Petite Douceur Rosé is classified as Extra Dry, often seen to be a confusing term as it's sweeter than Brut Champagne. With enticing notes of strawberry cheesecake, this is simply delicious. This is where you go if you want the warmth and fruit-forward generosity of Pinot Noir-dominant Champagne, but with a rosé's seductive strawberry character and a touch of residual sweetness. Gosset's house style shares Drappier's focus on elegance over bombast, and that strawberry cheesecake note echoes the brioche-and-red-fruit warmth you love. You should try it because Extra Dry sits in a sweet spot between Brut's austerity and demi-sec's confection—perfect for enjoying as an aperitif without food. Gosset's pedigree and this cuvée's dessert-like charm make it a sophisticated guilty pleasure that justifies its slight sweetness.

Wildcard pick 03
Champagne Guenin Liliale Blanc de Blanc
Champagne Guenin Liliale Blanc de Blanc
Guenin · The Whisky Exchange

This 100% Chardonnay has a lovely hint of marzipan with a lick of smoke and a wonderful salinity that really brings freshness on the finish. Where Carte d'Or uses Pinot Noir warmth, Liliale channels pure Chardonnay minerality from the same Aube region, giving you that same small-producer authenticity and terroir expression. The marzipan and smoke notes provide brioche-like complexity, while the salinity mirrors the freshness and structure that makes Drappier's wines sing. You'll appreciate this for its textural sophistication and food-friendliness—that saline finish makes it more versatile than many Blancs de Blancs. It's a masterclass in how 100% Chardonnay can be generous yet precise, proving you don't need Pinot Noir to find the character and warmth Drappier delivers.
