JMDecombe: Krug was bought out in 1999. 1996 is a pre-conglomerate vintage...

Filed under: Etc., Porsche, LifestyleThis time of year my refrigerator is so full that I just can't fit more than half a dozen magnums of Veuve Cliquot in there. Fortunately, the purveyors of this bubbly liquid have come to the rescue with the help of Porsche Design.

Hmmm, it's not because LVMH acquired all these companies that the products they make are bad. This is a bit insulting for the extremely talented winemakers who do the actual work. Just for the record, Wine Spectator named the Krug Brut Champagne 1996 the 10th best wine for 2007 (and the list includes *all* types of wine). Of course, someone will come up with a conspiracy theory that LVMH and Al Qaeda put pressure on Wine Spectator to get this ranking. Whatever. At any rate, the best thing is that Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines are ranked #1 and #3. That is the wine I serve when I have guests.

I never thought I would see a champagne debate on the Giz. For me, Moët et Chandon is the best taste for the dollar. I've never had Veuve, but that fridge has convinced me I have to. Dom and Cristal are overrated for the palate, but great for getting tail. If you like strippers.

HoseHead — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 11:44:05 EST

anyone who things dom perignon is good has obviously been brainwashed by their obnoxious advertising campaign. there are many other much better champagnes for a fraction of the price and blind taste tests prove it over and over and over again.
LVMH own Hennessy, Krug, Mercier, Moët et Chandon (including Dom Pérignon), Ruinart, and Veuve Clicquot. and it's all a big money making scam. people pay so much money for these big brand names for crappy white wine with bubbles in it.

@Thud: I'm fairly sure he meant Don Perignon and Crystal, which are sold by the Fotie in fine corner liquor stores in all the best barrios. If you have a taste for Malt Champagnes that is.

Thud — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 08:13:06 EST

@vinchbr: If you are affect pretensions about champagne, at least spell Cristal and Dom Perignon correctly. And, the taste of champagne is really all about "comparing prices," right? Wrong. Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame Rose is a spectacular champagne. Both Dom and Cristal have some kind of popular name recognition, but are fundamentally overpriced due to that--but hey, if you want rap star chic, drink all you want. Leave me with my Salon, Grande Dame and Bollinger.
