This month is all about the fizzy stuff to celebrate Valentine’s Day
After a short break in January we are back with a bang, and Sherry has put together a fantastic selection bubbles treats to celebrate Valentine’s Day. So iI hope you enjoy enjoy our wine of the month for February,
So let me pass you over to Hedonism Wines events manager Sherry Rose Stolar for her selections for this month
In a month dedicated to love, bubbles are always top of mind. From a diverse range of Champagnes to English Sparkling and sparkling wines from as far as South Africa and the USA, we have a little something bubbly for everyone. Why not try something pink this February with a rose Champagne? We even have non-alcoholic bubbles for those looking to keep dry January going into February. This year, we’ve also teamed up with our Mayfair neighbour, Neill Strain Floral Couture, to create two spectacular gift boxes for Valentine’s Day, featuring a stunning floral arrangement along with a bottle of Frerejean Frères Rosé Champagne or their non-alcoholic offering French Bloom.
Frerejean Frères champagnes are sold in very limited quantities worldwide, and the house is known for its fresh, innovative approach while respecting Champagne’s traditional methods. This multi-vintage rosé is a blend of 60% Chardonnay, 26% Pinot Noir and 14% of Pinot Noir vinified as still red wine. It has enticing aromas of red berries and summer fruits such as raspberries and Mirabelle plums, with hints of warm brioche.

French Bloom Le Rose Alcohol Free
Crafted by Maggie Frerejean of Frerejean Frères Champagne and Constance Jablonski, Director of the Michelin Guide, French Bloom was selected as the World’s Best Alcohol-Free wine at the 2023 World Sparkling Wine Awards.

Hundred Hills Blanc de Noirs 2019
Hundred Hills Blanc de Noirs 2019 is a vintage, traditional-method sparkling wine produced at the Hundred Hills estate in Oxfordshire. Hundred Hills has emerged as one of the most promising quality-orientated English sparkling wine producers of recent years. Working with a commitment to sustainability with minimal interference in the winery, it produces its exemplary range of sparkling wines entirely from estate-grown fruit in the Stonor Valley close to Henley. The Blanc de Noirs 2019 was produced from a single parcel of Pinot Noir grapes. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks and spent 30 months on the lees before bottling.

L`Ermitage Roederer Estate 2015 is a vintage-dated Champagne-method sparkling wine from the fog-shrouded Anderson Valley in Mendocino County, California.

L`Ermitage is the Roederer Estate’s special Tête de Cuvée, produced only in exceptional years.
