Champagne & Sparkling

As a family owned business, Crerar Hotels have always sought to work with family run suppliers wherever possible.

Why? We feel that when your family name is in question you strive to go that extra mile.

We are delighted to be able to offer two very special family run Champagne estates, both of which are award-winning. Poilvert-Jacques is fast becoming one of the houses to watch. Year in, year out, they have invested in production techniques, and thus, the quality just gets better and better. As for Ayala, it was established in 1860 and is the only French Champagne house with Latin roots. Ayala was then purchased by Bollinger in 2005; you can be guaranteed that the quality is only going to get even better. We have also added new Champagnes from renowned Champagne houses to give an increased choice.

DC1 Pinot Gris, Clos Jebsal, Domaine Zind Humbrecht Bottle £56.00 Alsace 2009

Nose, sweet and powerful, with layers of ripe stone fruits, pear, honey and mango. The luxuriousness and density of flavour continues through the palate, balanced by the perfect acidity. The texture is lush and the fruit pure and concentrated; this is very hard to put down. This is the sweeter side of wine so it’s best to drink with very rich foods or even strong cheese!

Exquisite aromas of meadow flowers, acacia honey, lemon grass and sweet gooseberry are finely balanced between freshness and flavour fullness. Just the right level of acidity mingles with butterscotch and hints of orange peel. The savoury sweet aftertaste is so loooooong and exciting! An excellent Corton!

DC8 Batard-Montrachet, Grand Cru, Domaine Bernard Moreau Bottle £229.00 Burgundy 2011

The Domaine’s 2011 Batard-Montrachet is one of the most refined, polished Batards. A host of bright, saline-infused aromas and flavours open up in the glass. Citrus, oyster shells, white flowers and spices take on more prominence over time, while floral notes become increasingly expressive on the finish. This is a flat out great bottle of Burgundy.
