Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin
Vintage Reserve Brut Champagne Blend 1988
Tasted double blind and what a stunner. This is indulgent, belle-epoque. Pecan, cinnamon and graham cracker but razor-sharp. So happy to see the big house in its former incarnation steal the show tonight!
Domaine Des Vignes du Maynes (Julien Guillot)

Lanson
Noble Cuvée de Lanson Brut Champagne Blend 1995
Apple cider vinegar, brioche and a bit short. Past its prime to my taste.
