Veuve Clicquot douzième, ça me paraît juste. Bon mais très commercial.
Salon c'est sublime mais à ce prix-là c'est pour une occasion par décennie 😅
Krug en premier, rien à redire. La Grande Cuvée est d'une complexité folle.
Pour moi le meilleur rapport qualité-prix reste Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve.
Pas de Laurent-Perrier ? Le Grand Siècle est magnifique.
Il manque aussi Gosset, la plus ancienne maison de vins de la Champagne (1584) !
Jacques Selosse, le vigneron qui a tout changé en Champagne. Bravo de l'avoir mis.
