Moët et Chandon NV

Post by LGTrotter »

Really rather good, a bit of a funny nose, sort of musty biscuit and yeast. A bit fuller/sweeter than I'm used to but much better than I remembered. Decidedly champagne. Emma was enthusiastic and she is my lodestar in champagne.

Then we opened the Bollinger. Both in halves, the Moët was less than dust beneath it's chariot wheels.

You could get it delivered to your pied-à-terre in London?

True. I'm over there next week. And there's one around the corner from my old man's house. Does the 25% offer continue long?

I think the 25% offer is long gone. Sorry.

The Moët reminded me a little of the Canard Duchene that Andre was a bit sniffy about at the French House.

I saw it in Sainsbury's just now and kept my arm down, a wine delivery having arrived only this morning. Only purchase today: half bottle of Sainsbury's Madeira. Discipline.

Just chucked half my half bottle in the trifle. Out of cheap sherry.

Never tried this one before - following JDAW's recommendation. Keep me some trifle.

Hm, I simply like my sparklers to be fairly dry. But the fact that you like both the Canard Duchene and the Moët does not surprise me. I don't like Moët champagne. I would always choose a "Widow Clic" over any Moët.

Quite agree, not too sure about the Veuve either, apart from the vintage, which is excellent.

I never liked the Widow - overrated I think, and I like very dry champagne. I didn't mind the Canard but wouldn't rave about it. I gave no opinion on the Moët (though I'm not a fan). So think on..!
