Le Petit Beaufort Brut Nature 2017
From the outward cream and pale blue label that gives you a hint that you are in for something luxurious but different, to the colour of the wine on pouring (ever so slightly darker than a Champagne but not as pink as a Provence rosè) that couldn’t be more intriguing… This is a bottle that surprises and delights from the minute it arrives. Dry and fresh, with everything you expect from Champagne, this is a delicate alternative with a floral edge reminiscent of a stately garden in full summer bloom.

Grilled Oysters and Tarragon Butter
As oyster lovers we will admit we were scared to sway from the classic (raw with a squeeze of lemon and drop of tabasco – soooo good) but gently grilled on the BBQ with tarragon butter is an absolute game changer.
The rich butter, punch of tarragon makes the sparkling wine pop like you couldn’t imagine!
This with the Le Petit Beaufort is our new go-to for a special occasion (or a Saturday afternoon when we are feeling fancy)
Ingredients
Oysters
Dried Tarragon
Salted butter
Method
Shuck your oysters. Mix dried tarragon and salted butter together. Add 1/2 tsp to each oyster and pop on the BBQ until the butter starts bubbling. Carefully take of the heat, regard some of the excess oil, wait to cool and enjoy!
