Champagne - twice in 1 week!




Yay! Three months since my last champagne posting we are back on topic. It was with great pleasure this week that I was able to review 2 of France's finest:




Bubbles 1 - G.H. MUMM 1999 Brut Millesime
Occasion - the engagement of our best man to the love of his life! Mazel tov.

This champagne was amazingly soft, buttery and delicious. It danced lightly on the palate and floated gently to the head! I immediately wanted another bottle to check if anything could taste so ... well ... floaty!

Bubbles 2 - Veuve Clicquot Brut
Occasion - the sale of our unit to an offshore investor currently cruising on the Queen Mary - cheers to you Mrs N!

For me, Veuve signifies contract signing as it was the traditional way my work celebrated deals back in the naughty 90s. Its big and brash and bright (like its orange box) and makes you feel like shouting 'yahoo'! So it was the perfect choice for finally settling on our sale.
