BRIGHTON - Champagne Classics
Veuve Cliquot, Bollinger, Louis Roederer, Pol Roger, Moet et Chandon, Taittinger? Have you ever wondered which champagne you like the best? This is your chance to find out.  "I recently attended the blind champagne tasting class in Brighton. Jonny who runs the class is very informative and keeps it fun with interesting facts. You get a lot of champagne for your money and for 2 hours it is good value. You also get some nice nibbles and cheese. I would recommend this tasting for wine enthusiasts or to buy as a gift for someone." Anka M Join us at our exclusive Grandes Marques Champagnes tasting and you will be able to taste these six world famous champagnes: Pol Roger Brut Reserve NV Churchill's favourite champagne. Founded in 1849.  Veuve Cliquot NV Distinctive orange label. Madame Cliquot is an important figure in Champagne. Founded in 1772.  Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV Family owned house. Also make Cristal, the original prestige cuvee. Founded in 1776. Moet et Chandon Brut Imperial NV The largest Champagne house of them all. Makers of Dom Perignon. Founded in 1743. Taittinger Brut Reserve NV Family run house.

I have chosen six of my favourite champagnes from this group to share with you. We will taste the champagnes blind and score them for taste and enjoyment. As usual there will be some light nibbles to accompany the wines. You will get the chance to find out how champagne is made, the styles of champagne available, the difference between non vintage, vintage and prestige cuvees and some of the history behind each of the six champagnes we are tasting.
