8/23/20, 7:56 AM - 140 $ is a good price for a LGD. In europe they go for 150+€. 80$ is on the other side quite high for the vintage. I can find these for 45-50€.So I would definitely go for the LGD in your case. They are definitely so much better than the vintage IMO. Then again, the vintage isn't bad in any way.
8/23/20, 10:23 AM - LGD ages great!I've had both the 1995 and 1996 several times the last two years and they always deliver and score high in blind tastings with serious competition.
8/23/20, 10:54 AM - Same league and it's up to personal taste and bottle variation. I prefer LGD over DP, at least in 1995. In 1996 it's a closer run. Bollinger is just as good in 1995 and beats it in 1996. Comtes I've only tasted 1996, beautiful champagne and comparable to LGD.
8/23/20, 8:05 AM - I think the 2012 Bonville will improve with a bit more cellaring and the probably be better than PP NV. I'm a sucker for mature champagne though....PP will always have the advantage in the higher end with the Chetillons range but then again, compared to Bonville it goes for about three times the price... Was ages since I had his ordinary vintage so I'm a bit unsure how this one will compare but most likely very good!
8/23/20, 10:50 AM - I think the Chetillons 2012 was priced around 80-90 $ when they were released in Sweden. Sold out at once and now they're over 100$.If you want something comparable to PP and FB, check out Bonnaire! VERY good value for money and one of my favourites!
8/22/20, 12:35 PM - A bit tricky since the magnums are mono vintage and the 750 are NV.After some investigation I've come to the conclusion that my magnum was most likely a 2002 mono vintage. So 18 years were no problem at all!
8/22/20, 10:57 PM - The magnum are always from a single vintage. So no reserve wine in them.
8/14/20, 1:11 AM - Just drank a magnum bought and disgorged 2009. Very good and will hold another 10 years.
