[Nexus] Champagne query

[dancefloorlandmine]

[grin] I won't ask whether anyone here knows anything about champagne, but I don't, personally.

We've got some bottles in the office, left over from an event, and the Fundraising department is wondering where on the scale of "good" to "pour down sink with nose held shut" they are ...

According to the label, it's "Sarcey Brut Champage Champagne", with "Private Cuvée", but there's nothing so classy as a date.

What is this stuff?

Really, why? I've got a bottle of special fizz made to go with curry, which I've not been brave enough to try yet.

Is it truly awful?

I used to work for a wine merchants, and one of the reps gave me this bottle of Indian champers - it was an experience.

Personally, my favourite champagne thus far is Louis Roederer - lovely stuff, smooth and like drinking liquid amber.

Experience in a "dissolved tastebuds" way? The stuff I've got is called "Rani Gold", but reading the label, it claims to be Wine of Spain. Now very confused.

Louis Roederer is marvellous, though I lean more towards Ruinart and Gosset. Cristal, however, is Not Worth It.

Certainly in a 'taste like turps' way (and not in the good sense either).
It's on a par with Jeremy Bentham sherry (always good for etching marble).


Never knowingly had Ruinart.
