Advice on champagne

[pagingjoan]

sounds wonderful! Any new favourites / recommendations?

My favourites - although not new to me, at least - were the Larmandier Bernier, Egly Ouriet, Gosset, Philipponat, Canard-Duchene, Henriot and Delamotte. Those are not really at the cheaper end of the scale though.

The ones I had not "met" before were the Jerome Blin, Henri Goutorbe and Godme. For me, the Goutorbe was probably the best of those, priced at $55. (The cheapest on offer was Deutz Cuvee Classic - but that's definitely not on my preferred list, so someone else can have my share of that.

One other that I didn't know was Paul Bara Brut Reserve Grand Cru. Quite good, I thought, but at $80 I would prefer others.

Thanks!
Philipponat is divine, but there's some new-to-me in that list. Best do some more research ;-)

If you want a great deal, this is the one: https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_823700/secret-selection-champagne

Taittinger for $35 a bottle.

Just confirming my delivery today was indeed Taittinger :mrgreen:
Thanks blackcat20

Yuck. I tried this fizzy vinegar at the DM's Sparkling event in BNE. Awful stuff.

Are you sure it wasn't from a dud bottle based on that description?

Thankyou BlackCat! My niece is going to think we have been very lavish in her gift. Shhhhh!

I just ordered 6 from Dan's.

Thanks BlackCat & merry christmas.

Can you click and collect or is it delivery only? I got to the payment area with C&C to see that the price had reverted to $338.34

My order did that even though it was delivery because I'd tried doing a collect first. I had to start all over again.

fantastic!
yup, that's the fancy world cup packaging- rather than bubbles it has soccer balls holograms on the bottle label
nice find!

Can you check the import label on the bottle and post that please PF?

Sure

Still waiting for mine; first to order and last to receive? Even mum got the case I ordered for her already...

Makes sense - It's old packaging from a campaign which has since finished.

Will taste the same though.

Thanks. So not a grey import. That's good news

 

[blackcat20]

And mine has just arrived. I do love that they pack the Taittinger box in a Dan Murphy's box.

 

[Lizzi]

My box of Taittinger arrived this morning, too. We're a happy bunch here today!

 

[ComeFlyWithMe]

Will taste the same though.

At $35 it will likely taste better than the bottles I've paid $49 for
