Wine of the Month, February 2026
A Pink Note for a Velvet Month
Champagne pedigree without the theatrical price tag
February is typically a month of two halves: the lingering chill of winter and the sudden arrival of Valentine's Day. While our In the Spotlight promotion is busy showcasing the opulent reds of the Red Velvet Collection, we felt it was high time for a bit of effervescence. For the first time in several years, we've selected a sparkler for our Wine of the Month -- and it's a thoroughbred.
The Langlois-Chateau Crémant de Loire Rosé is a wine with serious heritage. Owned by the Bollinger family, this house applied the same rigorous standards to their Crémant as they do to their Champagne. Produced using the traditional method and aged for a minimum of 18 months, it offers a level of refinement that usually commands a much higher price. It's a delicate salmon pink with a fine persistent mousse, bursting with notes of fresh raspberry, cherry and a hint of creamy complexity. It possesses a "grown-up" dry finish that makes it a sophisticated partner for anything from smoked salmon to a quiet Tuesday evening.
Choosing a sparkling wine for February isn't just about romance; it's about a palate cleanser. After the rich, concentrated reds of the last few months, this Crémant is a breath of fresh air. It's undeniably cheerful and proves that "sparkling" can be a wine of real substance.
Throughout February, you can enjoy this standout Rosé at its mixed-six price of just £16.50 (available on single bottles), and we'll add 100 bonus loyalty points to your account with every purchase.
