Météore wines are named after the 300-meter-wide meteorite crater which sits at its heart in the foothills of the Haut-Languedoc mountains and where their wines grow. Owners, Dr Paul Jenkins and Dr Paul Jarman create wines that truly give a sense of terroir with the Cevennes Mountains to the north sheltering the Domaine from harsh winds, creating a down current of cool air that gives their wines freshness and acidity. They make their wines in small volumes using organic methods and are working towards being fully biodynamic too. They believe this is the best way to create wines that truly express their terroir, with each cuvée telling a different story.

Champagne same-day delivery company The Finest Bubble are making living rooms bubble every Friday evening with their newly launched weekly Instagram Live tastings: The Friday Bubble. Serving up hour-long tasting sessions on various grape-led topics, customers can choose to pre-order one of their ‘famous five’ champagnes to indulge in. We sampled a bottle of Laurent Perrier 2008 and Taittinger 2012 – The Laurent Perrier 2008 was a wonderfully poised blend with equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with the toasty aromas creating a palate of grapefruit, almond, and white flowers. Our preferred, the Taittinger 2012, held a pale radiant yellow colour with an abundance of fine bubbles, forming an intense, sweet fruitiness, radiating scents of lemon and mandarin with a flowery touch of acacia honey. Stocking over 200 bottles of champagne, bottles can be ordered online as little as two hours ahead of time (if you’re in London) or the day before the tasting if elsewhere in the UK.
