Nine outstanding Champagnes for under £50

4. Champagne Henriot Brut Souverain

This boutique Champagne house has always been a bit of a connoisseurs’ best-kept secret, yielding excellent, bright, fresh, floral fizz at all levels, particularly with Chardonnay – it’s blanc de blancs is an industry favourite.

However, it’s the brand’s Brut Souverain NV that got the high marks in this year’s flight of NV sparklings at the Champagne Masters – highly awarded for its taught, direct style, but also grilled nutty notes; characters, which, when combined, make this such a pleasing aperitif.

Approximate retail price for Champagne Henriot Brut Souverain: £38
