I love great multi-vintage blends because they are cheaper and can smooth over the weaker vintages. However, for me personally it is hard to beat a great vintage Champagne from a serious house. Cheers and throw those flutes in the bin!😁

It was like a GH.MUMM 1999, just fruity and toasty and nice but not incredible, but it came in a coffret box that is like a fortress, a dolls-house, haha. But in any case, I bought loads of them. Well, I had loads of them bought for me, haha
