Drop 03 · Champagne & Pizza — 6 bottles

Serious grower Champagne, zero ceremony — the kind you open on pizza night. Faces, villages and names stay sealed until the truck leaves.

Six bottles from growers who farm their own vines and answer their own phone. No maisons, no marketing departments. What they taste like:

• The opener, from a family pressing in the same spot since 1885: golden apple, warm brioche, zero pretence.
• The house brut of a grower who sells out at his own front door: round, generous, dangerously easy.
• A blanc de blancs that tastes of chalk and nothing else: citrus, oyster shell, one straight white line.
• One hundred percent of the grape nobody brags about — until they taste it: orchard fruit, fresh bread, the most food-friendly bubble there is.
• The dark-grape muscle of a valley of families, not maisons: red apple skin, depth, a bubble with shoulders.
• A pale rosé the old way, of a colour with its own name in the old manuals: wild strawberries, bone-dry finish, romance without sugar.

At the wine shop: €249. In the drop: €199 — 20% off, about €33 a bottle for real grower Champagne. Corks fly over a margherita; labels revealed on arrival.
