The French culinary tradition is all about creating a multi-sensory gastronomic experience. To coincide with French GourMay, city’super has prepared a variety of Champagnes, fresh ingredients, delicacies and desserts straight from France, offering you the opportunity to wine and dine the French way.
Selected Grower Champagnes
Grower Champagne is a type of sparkling wine that is made by small-scale winegrowers who cultivate, craft, age and bottle the wine themselves. The unique terroir and craftsmanship produce different flavours. If you want to savour these small-batch treasures with unique personalities, try our two recommendations of French grower champagne below:
Mathilde Savoye Blanc de Meunier Brut
Made with 100% Pinot Meunier. The terroir, with a marly tendency, is characterised by silt, clay and sand that condition the character of the softer and fresher champagne, especially suitable for balancing the cuvees.
Marc Hebrat Clos Le Léon Extra Brut
Clos Le Léon is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The wine doesn’t undergo malolactic fermentation in order to maintain its crisp taste. It’s aged with lees in oak barrels for seven months and then further aged for seven years, this champagne has an excellent balance between mineral and floral aromas.
the Ultimate Cheese Indulgence
French cheese has a delicate and unique flavour with a rich and smooth texture. city'super is delighted to recommend Les Frères Marchand—a renowned family of French cheese makers. Since 1880, they have been producing cheese family-style, their professional cheese-making have rendered them experts in crafting aged cheeses that showcase the best craftsmanship and flavour.
The brand has invited French painter Christopher Lecoutre to design a limited-edition packaging. His abstract expressionist works are inspired by different cultures, presenting a wonderful and abstract universe.

city’super Ossetra Caviar
Ossetra caviar is one of the most prized varieties of caviar, obtained from the Ossetra sturgeon which can live up to 50 years. With a nutty, creamy walnut taste and a pleasing burst of ocean flavours, these silky textured eggs are best served on their own, with a mother-of-pearl spoon and paired with a glass of champagne.
Wine Pairing:
Francois Seconde La Loge Blanc De Noirs Sillery Grand Cru
All Pinot Noir grapes are from the best plots of Sillery Grand Cru with extremely limited production - only 2,000 bottles per year. Golden yellow in colour, this delicate champagne has persistent bubbles. With power and finesse on the nose, it exudes notes of red fruits and pastries. On the palate, it is smooth and balanced.
