Named from its delicate colour that matches the eye of the Partridge, this is a subtly delicious Champagne from the Côtes des Bars in the south of the region.

F8 Krug Grande Cuvée

Aged for longer than many houses' vintage wines, the style is rich, with yeast aromas, nuts, dried fruits and toast, yet with great finesse and complexity. Almost certainly the finest non-vintage sparkling wine in the world.
