| Post subject: | Disappointing Champagne |
I've been increasingly disappointed with relatively inexpensive, and not so inexpensive, champagnes. Are they being overproduced, with a consequent impact on flavour and quality?I've tried most of the normal makes over the years, and whereas Moet, for example used to have the rather creamy, vanilla flavour that I like, the last couple of bottles were essentially a pleasant sparkling wine, but no more. Others have been similarly disappointing. Any recommendations of a champagne that is worth having, but isn't so expensive as to have to save for special occasions? |

Sainsbury's Blanc de Noirs (not sure if it's labelled TtDor not) is streets ahead of all the stuff commonly flogged at "half price" and the boring big names like Moet. £14, I think. |

Thanks. I've tried most Champagnes at around the £20 mark, and under of course, and some over. Memory is a funny thing, but I'm sure that the quality was higher. I'll try your suggestion. Peter |

The Tesco Finest Vintage Champagne , a blanc de blancs, is noted for being a decent drop, has picked up a Decanter Gold and an IWC Silver for 2007. Around £19. |
