We quaff (and rate) the finest champagnes around… And end up with a tie! But which vintages prevailed?
OUR VERDICT
PIPER-HEIDSIECK CUVÉE BRUT
The initial (and irresistible) fruity attack is deliciously moreish – and utterly unique. Sublime.
TAITTINGER BRUT MILLÉSIMÉ
Just the right balance of fizz and zing, this smooth vintage verges on addictive.
LANSON GREEN LABEL ORGANIC CHAMPAGNE
A delicate champagne with subtle hints of citrus and berries. The organic credentials are the cherry on top.
COLLET CUVÉE BLANC DE NOIRS
Rich and generous with a mineral finish, it packs an indulgent punch. A guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
MUMM GRAND CORDON
With ripe fruit aromas chased by sweet hints of vanilla, it is sure to tickle your palate. Surprisingly light.
NICOLAS FEUILLATTE BRUT RÉSERVE
Clean apple notes with a soft spicy finish make it one fine apéritif.
