Dom Perignon

I experienced my first taste of Dom Perignon approximately a year ago and since then have sampled a few of the different vintage varieties including 1990, 1992 and 1996. I find that this is one of my favourite champagnes but most of the time to save for a special occasion! Although fairly expensive I believe that with champagnes you get what you pay for and it’s well worth the extra cost. When poured, Dom Perignon Champagne is a very pale golden straw-like colour.

Upon the first sip you experience a mellow taste that further develops into fruity notes of apple and citrus along with an acidity helped by a good concentration of bubbles. Overall a very smooth but intense flavour that comes highly recommended! I found a good selection of Dom Perignon available through Fine Wine Sellers, especially the gift boxed items – perfect for a last minute gift idea!

Krug Champagne

The King of all Champagnes!! 5 stars for taste, presentation and overall experience. This is a consistently great champagne that never fails to impress. Krug is one of those brands that gains its exclusivity from only being available through selected retailers so I was pleased to find three varieties on the Fine Wines website, including a fantastic Brut Rose. I bought this champagne just before Christmas after reading many reviews; all claiming it to be luxurious, deep and full yet dry tasting. Krug is probably one of the most respected brands of champagne in the world, and rightfully so.

Although also one of the most expensive. With regards to the Rose this is crisp and fresh and, unlike other Krug varieties which have a strong, deep taste the rose is very gentle. With Krug you are paying for the history the brand, the quality and the exclusivity.

Veuve Clicqout

A great reasonably priced Champagne with a fresh and crisp taste. A classic dry champagne with a rich golden colour and several layers of taste including a fruity long lasting freshness with persistent bubbles. This may not be as highly respected as some of the more expensive champagnes available but on my budget it’s one of the best! The vintage varieties have a firmer, more powerful and elegant fragrance. Overall an enjoyable Champagne at a moderate price.

I find this is a great accompaniment to seafood and light fish dishes, or served with breakfast!! I often buy presents of Champagne and wine for friends who have everything so I was pleased to find this website – a great selection available, with fantastic speed and service. Highly recommended!
