Big name, big price
Champagnes
My Uncle N has been on a mission this year to taste a different big name and big price Champagne each month – and for big celebrations.
Obviously he had the courtesy to let me have a tiny taste of all of them. What a journey it has been.

Not so much stellar as a damp squib – a disappointing experience.

I don’t share everyone’s hero worship of Winston Churchill, but this champagne was great.
And for my favourite champagnes...
There are some a couple of thousand grower-producers around, and thankfully I have managed to see a few of them!
