Concluding on this category in the context of the overall competition, Pedley stated, “It is a bold thing to say, but if we steered consumers away from Rosé Champagne and towards standard Vintage we would be doing them a huge favour.” The idea of adding Gold to drink is not a new one – although the variety of drinks Gold can now be found in has vastly increased. It is thought that alchemists in ancient times believed that gold possessed many powers which helped anyone who drank it to have a long and prosperous life.history many of the Champagne brands have colour coded their product with the ultimate winning colour – Gold. In short, riper and cleaner base wines are yielding better cuvées, and this allows for lower dosages too, because you don’t need a lot of sugar to offset green notes – nor to mask unwanted flavours – if there aren’t any. Hence, the Champagne of today is fuller, but drier too. And, in my view, that’s a good place to be. The Champagne Masters is a competition created and run by the drinks business, and is an extension of its successful Masters series for grape varieties, such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as regions like Rioja and Tuscany. The competition is exclusively for Champagne, and the entries were judged using Schott Zwiesel Cru Classic glasses supplied by Sensible Wine Services. The top wines were awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze medals according to their result, and those expressions that stood out as being outstanding received the ultimate accolade – the title of Champagne Master. From here on in, keep the bottle pointed away from yourself and anyone present, especially people's faces – about a 45 degree angle is good.

A stunning example of 2012 vintage Champagne, the wine is mid-straw in hue with tiny persistent bubbles, plenty of griotte and apple flavours and fresh yeast autolysis leading to a concentrated and integrated palate with racy acidity and brittle mousse texture. A long, savoury, bready and complex wine that is an excellent match for rich, intricate dishes, even game birds with exotic sauces. (Patricia Stefanowicz MW) CHAMPAGNE HENRIOT MILLÉSIME 2012 Most notably, you get such quality for the same price as the more mundane rosés we tasted. And, while you might say they are prettier in the glass, be they pale salmon-pink or more like gravlax, in my view, there is nothing more inviting than the straw-gold colour of a mature vintage Champagne. Any sparkling wine labeled “Champagne” must be produced within Champagne, a geographical region in northeast France. However, certain sparkling wines produced elsewhere in the world may be produced using the Champagne method, in which the secondary fermentation, the step which creates the bubbles, takes place in each individual bottle. Regions producing bubblies made with the Champagne method include Italy (where it's known as metodo classico), Spain and Portugal ( método tradicional), California, Australia, and even regions of France outside of Champagne (where the method is known as méthode traditionnelle). Many other popular sparkling wines, such as Prosecco and Sekt, are made using less labor-intensive processes than the Champagne method. Henri Lhopital first made and sold Champagne in 1912 under his family name, but it was André Lhopital, who established the company in 1952. Mid-straw in hue with streams of tiny bubbles, the Champagne shows green and golden apples and smoky autolysis with digestive biscuit coming through on the palate. Medium weight, concentrated, with lively acidity balanced by flavours and silky-textured mousse, the wine has persistence and a long, honeyed finish. A delight with cheese soufflé napped with tarragon cream sauce or cod steamed with green olives, pimientos and lemon zest. (Patricia Stefanowicz MW) CHAMPAGNE DEUTZ, BRUT 2015 In short – anyone and everyone! “In my opinion and expertise,” says Kimberley, “brown eyes suit a yellow-gold and a traditional light champagne gold, whereas if you have blue or green eyes you could opt for something warmer – look for more orange and copper tones in the gold. This is because blue and orange are complementary colours that work well together and really pop the shadow and the eyes!”We provide an exceptional and easy Corporate Gift Account Service for companies wishing to send out gifts to Customers or Clients throughout the year, whether as a Thank you, Christmas or New Year gift or simply just because they have been great to work with!

Store your Champagne like you would any other fine wine: on its side in a cool, low-light environment. "Cellar temperature" (50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit) is ideal, but even if you don't have a wine fridge that maintains this temperature, you can get away with keeping your bubbly in a dark closet or cabinet where it will be away from its two main nemeses, heat and light. But don't store your Champagne in the regular refrigerator: the vibrations from the motor and the frequent light will disturb the wine and may alter its taste. Champagne in three bottle sizes, regular 75cl, a magnum and the largest currently available Golden is the Jeroboam. We are not sure for how long Moet will produce the Gold sleeve so it is currently marked up as a limited edition but looks great and makes a fantastic gift. The failure of some of the pink Champagnes to meet expectations aside, the overall standard of samples in this year’s competition was not only high, but higher than ever before. And with that in mind, please read on to see where the quality lies, as we reveal all the medallists from the Champagne Masters 2022. Non Vintage Of course, styles vary, and although my preference is for pristine fruit flavours allied to a nutty richness, I can see the quality in more oxidative styles, with their appealing notes of dried fruit and honey. Furthermore, while I like a certain creaminess in Champagne, I was surprised by the pleasure I took in the firmer feel of those producers who eschew malolactic fermentations: Lanson and Gosset in particular. If you love Champagne, you know Veuve Clicquot. The iconic label is the standard-bearer of consistent, high-quality Champagne, and their "La Grande Dame" expression is a standout. Clicquot tapped Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama to design a special label and presentation box for their prestige cuvée, the vintage-dated La Grande Dame 2012. The flower design symbolizes "vital energy, love and celebration of life," according to Clicquot, and "the polka dots, Yayoi Kusama's signature patterns, are reworked like Champagne bubbles to embody La Grande Dame 2012."This roundup was edited by Jesse Porter, who's worked as a sommelier for several excellent Champagne programs—and yet who finds it challenging to maintain a decent Champagne collection at home, as they tend to pair so nicely with pretty much any meal. Here are the 10 best vintage expressions from the 2022 Champagne Masters, featuring single-harvest samples from 2008 to 2016 – including star performers from 2012 – all of which were Gold medallists or higher in the UK’s leading Champagne-only, professional blind-tasting competition.
