Which Champagne are you drinking?

The basis for the ranking is consistency throughout the range. He has rated Doquet like this for the last six years.

At the end of the day from my perspective like most champagne reviews it is of historical importance rather than actual.

I am not a critic and this year I did not go out to try as much champagnes as in the past but for 2023 we have a pretty clear idea in the grower segment, who is on the up and who is staying the same and who is gone down in quality.

The biggest disappointments are Savart and Benoit Marguet. For me the clear winner in 2023 alongside Hure-Freres and Emanuel Brochet is Benoit Lahaye, such a fantastic range of champagnes.

My problem is, I am not really in awe of Ulysse Collin and I am not looking for substitutes, this may have to do with my dealings with him. There is a saying in the Champagne about him, he does what he does because it brings him success, not because he belives what he does.

I personally think George Remy is the bigger talent. Also Vincey, they have top holding in the CDB

Ledru has strongly influenced me with her assertion that wood does not in any way belong in Champagne. Savart probably is for me the most interesting producer and I personally would place him above Ulysse Colin but I would understand if you disagreed.

Ah.
