My vote and heart goes to Krug <3
Pol Roger
Ruinart
Jacque Selosse
We all know Krug is gonna win this one. I will however vote for Gusbourne blanc de noirs 2018.
Krug.

Krug
Louis Roederer for the absolute best, though I often reach for a Crémant du Jura when I want something sparkling
No chance this is beating Champagne, but English Sparkling wine is great these days! 🥰
Bollinger!
Nyetimber
Gosh this is hard…maybe a nice prosecco or even Cook’s brut…hmm. I think I’ll go with Krug
Billecart-Salmon !
Either Bollinger or Billecart!
Krug
Gosset
Krug Clos de Mesnil 1985
Schramsberg
Egly-Ouriet makes some absolutely beautiful wines
Haven’t had the chance to study the super high end Champagne like Jacques Selosse’s cuvees, or even Krug.
Some of my favourite Champagne have been Eric Rodez’ Ambonnay Dosage Zero, or his Blanc de Noirs, Deutz Hommage a William Deutz Meurtret 2012, and Marguet’s 2018 Ambonnay.
Either Billecart-Salmon or Louis Roederer 242
Overall: Krug! I would choose Krug everyday if only I got the money
Krug
Dhondt-Grellet
Favourite ever (years ago) – salon 96, more recently Cedric Bouchard cotes de bechalin 14
Krug or Selosse.
Dom Perignon with some age (20+ years).
While I could easily go with a top tier grower like Egly or the crowd favorite Krug, I’ve only had a handful of Champagnes that have truly exceeded my expectations which were Dom Perignon from the 80s and 90s and an 1989 Bollinger La Grande Annee.
