  • Introducing our new and exclusive Champagne from @laurentperrieruk 🍾 . This Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature is made using 100% Chardonnay from the best crus of Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. Made 'sans dosage' (with no added sugar) this exceptional wine has spent five years of ageing in the cellar to give it a white gold colour and a fine sparkle. With aromas of citrus and fresh lemon on the palate, this is an elegant and balanced Champagne with great depth and length . 📸: @antoinesimi . . . #Champagne #blancdeblance #brutnature #sansdosage #zerodosage #LaurentPerrier #bubbly #fizz #pop #celebration #sparklingwine #luxurywine

  • We can't get enough of the view across the vineyards at @Boschendal. This historic property, founded 330 years ago, lies between Franschhoek and Stellenbosch. It's been lovingly restored over the last decade with substantial plantings of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and other varieties. But they've also recently added 450,000 new fruit trees and invested in Black Angus cattle, chickens, pigs, sheep, goats and fish! Flora and fauna conservation is a priority alongside making brilliant wines . . . #Elgin #SouthAfrica #SouthAfricanWines #chardonnay #sauvignonblanc #Franschhoek #Stellenbosch #winestagram #winegeek #winelifestyle #instavin #dinnerdrinks #cheers #wineallthetime #wineing #vinovino #vinho

ABOUT LAITHWAITE'S

Laithwaite's began in 1969, when Tony Laithwaite took a job washing bottles in Bordeaux... and fell in love with real wine and the people who make it. When he borrowed a van to share these delicious wines with friends and neighbours at home, things went so well that boutique wineries were soon queuing to take part. Today we're the UK's No.1 home-delivery wine merchant, with over 1,500 wines to choose from... including red, white and rosé, plus Champagne and sparkling, beer and cider.
