- NV Champagne Taittinger Prestige Rose
This is a perfect little sampler pack of delicious Champagnes, covering a snapshot of the region, from small grower Champagne to high-quality Rose from one of the most famous houses in the region.
NV Champagne Michel Gonet Blanc de Noirs 6g
Gonet's best value Champagne is this fantastic Blanc de Noirs, made from Pinot Noir sourced from their own vineyards in the Cotes des Bar, in the southern part of the region.
It's vibrant and rich and works well as both as an aperitif style or with richer food. The 6g is the six grams of dosage added, putting in the extra dry category.
There's no malolactic fermentation to maintain a good acid drive, and the two years on lees gives some warm brioche notes.
A beautifully balanced everyday Champagne.
NV Champagne Chartogne-Taillet Cuvee Sainte Anne Brut
Alexandre Chartogne is regarded amongst the top ranks of Champagne's younger generation of artisanal grower producers.
Inspired by his time with the legendary Anselme Selosse (whom he describes as his, "Wine Father"), Alexandre has experimented with multiple modes of production during his tenure in control of his family's plantings just north of Reims.
Since 2006, he has managed his sites on the southern slopes of the Massif de Saint-Thierry with organic practices (uncertified), and believes that in the traditions of his ancestors lies plenty of wisdom. He now makes the wines as they did - with the wines aged in barrel and handled with care.
His wines are richly flavoured yet precise and offer a clear reflection of the terroir he farms.
The Sainte Anne is his excellent value NV cuveé. It is comprised of predominantly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the family vineyards dotted around Merfy. Consistently, this offers great depth and character for a Champagne of this price point. Great buying if you're exploring the next generation producers of Champagne.
NV Champagne Taittinger Prestige Rose
The Prestige Rose is a particularly muscular and powerful Champagne.
A small percentage (15%) of still red wine from the finest Pinot Noir grown in the estate's Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys vineyards is added to the blend, to lend depth and structure as well as the eye-catching colour.
This is no shrinking violet. It's a Champagne characterised by strength and tannin, and in the context of these apex Champagne houses, it offers excellent value. If rosy bubbles are what you seek, Taittinger is always an excellent option.
95 points
"Taittinger uses tannins rather than sweetness to balance the mouth feel of its rosé. The result is exceedingly sophisticated, bringing a gorgeous tannin texture to a delicately stylish rosé."
- Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide)

Ordering
We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
- The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
- We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
- We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
- It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.
- It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.
We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.
At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!
No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.
We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.
To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you.
If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.
If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
