Description
Real French Champagne direct from Rapeneau’s underground cellars in Epernay, France
Singapore Airlines : Served in Business class since 2014
Highly Recommended - creamy brioche aromas, rich biscuity flavours and fine bead with long-lasting bubbles
This Gold Medal-winning Champagne is an absolute beauty and unbelievable value at under $30. Complex, fine and elegant, the wine was left to mature on its lees for a full three years, giving it a delicious biscuity character and a creamy richness. A classic blend of 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, all the hallmarks of quality Champagne are here, with brioche and floral notes on the nose and an elegant palate which marries notes of citrus, gingerbread and honeysuckle. The wine effortlessly combines structure and finesse.
The Rapeneau family come from the Marne area of France’s Champagne region and have been specialists in the wine trade since the company was founded by Ernest Ernest Louis Rapeneau in 1901.

This is the 2nd time I've ordered this wine, when it is in stock. An easy wine to drink at an excellent price too. My husband is a beer drinker but will drink this wine. All round good palette taste, not too sweet, perfect for the fussy drinkers. I didn't find it too dry for a Brut as some Brut wines are. An Excellent wine/Champagne.

David - 18/11/2013
A lovely, great-value bubbly with all charm of a more expensive drop.
Mike - 18/11/2013
A real winner...............especially when one considers the price. Very palatable with a not so dry mouth feel. My advise is, stock up for Christmas and New Year, now!
Brian - 11/11/2013
Bloody nice drop at a good price. I will buy more. Always remember that champagne producers have a valuable reputation to protect and even cheaper champagne is still high quality.
Keith - 09/09/2013
Beautiful
Chrissie - 01/07/2013
Best value for money I have ever had, wonderful Champagne have already reordered!!!!
Siegfried - 26/05/2013
Quality bubbles with full-bodied rich flavour and tasty finish. We all wanted another bottle. I never told them the price.
Tony - 16/04/2013
Surprisingly good bubbly. Consistent flavour with no quirkiness in after taste at all. Cannot fault it.
Simon - 15/04/2013

Dianne - 17/12/2012
another great sparkling just great for out side barbies or picnics.
Judith - 15/12/2012
Fantastic value. Highly recommend buying this fab bubbles.
Suzanne - 11/12/2012
brilliant - terrific value, super quick freight
Judith - 06/12/2012
This is superb value for money - under $30 for a real champagne that tastes pretty good. Nice rounded flavours with a touch of the yeasty/bready taste that I always look for and it's age means the acid, while there, is nicely in balance. Buy loads would be my advice - but not so much they run out before I re-order!
Chris - 30/11/2012
Lovely....we bought more!
Brian - 27/11/2012
FOR THE MONEY, THIS IS SENSATIONAL. I WILL BE BACK FOR MORE.MUCH BETTER THAN MANY MORE EXPENSIVE CHAMPAGNES
Brian - 26/11/2012
We drink Champagne whenever the opportunity arises. The Ernest Rapeneau is very enjoyable indeed - as good as many Champagnes more than double the BM price !! Will order again without hesitation.
John - 26/11/2012
Great value for money. Enjoyed by all
Robert - 26/11/2012
I have had many wines at $100+that have been no better than this beauty.
Barry - 12/10/2012
Quite stunnign value at $26. I will go straight to 12 bottles on your next Champagne offer.
Simon - 12/10/2012
Incredible value for money and fantastic taste!
Oleg - 10/10/2012
NEED ONE SAY MORE?
Chris - 09/10/2012
Outstanding value!! I have paid at least 3 times the price for other Champagnes only to be disappointed. If you ever see this on special BUY IT as you will not regret it. Fresh, clean taste you will love, just don't tell your guests how little you paid.
George - 08/10/2012
A nice, dry style of real champagne for around half the price of the more famous brands.
Mark - 25/06/2017
Great value.
John - 10/05/2014
A tasty bargain.
Murray - 16/11/2013

Ian - 15/11/2013
Best value Champagne in NZ! Not only great value but the quality is up there with $50 Champagnes.
Rory - 13/04/2013
Had my first bottle of this lovely champers last evening, was very dry and very nice. Good affordable champers for those on a budget,
Pip - 03/03/2013
So far only opened one bottle. Didn't quite have the fizz that I would expect from Champagne but very pleasant drinking non the less.
James - 21/12/2012
Just tried the one bottle so far. Definitely on the lighter drier aperitif side. Good mouth feel and moderate intensity. Subtle rather than obvious complexity, mild yeasty/biscuity and definitely strong citrus notes, but a good long finish. We tried this not long after it arrived and we anticipate some improvement in it's depth after some rest. Definitely good value for money.
Simon - 19/12/2012
Very good value for a genuine French Champagne. Better than price-comparable NZ bubbles
Mark - 10/12/2012
Great value for money.
Wendy - 01/12/2012
Tres bien
Mark - 30/11/2012
Not yet tasted, Xmas is coming !
John - 27/11/2012
I shared a bottle with my sister and brother in law on the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. My brother in law is extremely fussy about the champagne he drinks and agreed it was excellent value for money.
Margaret - 26/11/2012
I thought this was absolutely delicious. I'm no expert but I do know a good taste when I try it.
Gail - 12/10/2012
Good value for money
