When talking about Champagne, I believe many would relate Champagne to big houses such as Moet & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot. While big producers’ Champagne sometimes can be quite good, I believe there are a lot of great value Champagne to be found from smaller growers’ Champagnes. I recently drank two growers’ Champagne which I really quite like them. Both were bought from London in cases and shipped to Hong Kong.
The first one I tried is Larmandier-Bernier, Terre de Vertus Non-dose Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru NV. This is selling at about GBP35 in London and I really love it! The wine has a lot of character and is so different from what we normally drink. The wine is extremely delicate. First of all, it is 100% Chardonnay which is crisper and more delicate Buy propecia online than those Pinot Noir based Champagne. Also, this Champagne is an extra-dry Champagne with no sugar added. The wine also has very concentrated and intense flavours of grapefruit, citrus, mineral and yeast. Highly recommended!
The second Champagne tried is Vilmart Grand Cellier NV. This is selling at about GBP30 in London. Comparing to Larmandier-Bernier, this one definitely less delicate and less refreshing. Still, it is a light and delicate Champagne. It is also very easy to be liked as it has Buy Nolvadex Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed quite complex nose with strong citrus flavour. Bubble is quite fine even though I found it a little bit too aggressive. Even though I like Larmandier-Bernier more, this is still a Champagne that can be recommended.
