\nIf you really wanted champagne, then you have a choice of two options: expensive and very expensive. Veuve Clicquot or Krug, something like that.\n<\/p>\n

\nSparkling wine sales soar in the period of mass holidays, and you can’t blame consumers that they are looking for a budget alternative: from Prosecco to cava and cr\u00e9mant. But nothing compares with the excitement around champagne.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt’s there in the history of the region, the exclusivity of individual bottles, delight emitted from the tube, the delicacy of flavours, fine bubbles game or in a clean force marketing, one fact remains: consumers are willing to pay for more champagne. How much more is a matter of particulars.\n<\/p>\n

\nWe have studied the range of portal wine-searcher to find out whose bubbles more.\n<\/p>\n

\nAlthough some manufacturers have poured their champagne in magnums (bottles of 1.5 liters) and Jeroboam (3l) with price tags, when you look at you want the muzzle to jaw dropped not \u2013 as a limited edition Cristal Gold Medallion 2002 from Louis Roederer at $25,000 for a bottle \u2013 we bought bottled 750 ml, is represented by several vintages and ranked them by the average price.\n<\/p>\n

\nLarge formats, special sets and limited editions we have selected. The result is a list, which is dominated by two producers, both from the holding company LVMH (Louis Vuitton mo\u00ebt Hennessy).\n<\/p>\n

\u2776 Krug Clos d’ambonnay<\/h3>\n

\nOn top of the list with a numbered bottle of Krug Blanc de Noir with an average price tag of $2151.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThe content comes from one of the most respected villages with Pinot Noir in champagne \u2013 Ambonnay (Ambonnay). The grapes are harvested on a single plot of 0.68 hectares. <\/p>\n

\nLimited planting is the first item. The second edition of the wine only in the best years. Moreover, only four of these crops were made release. Hence the rarity of champagne Clos d’ambonnay.\n<\/p>\n

\nAnd let’s not forget that Krug is one of the most prestigious champagne houses, known for small production volumes and very high prices.\n<\/p>\n

\u2777 P3 Pl\u00e9nitude of Dom P\u00e9rignon Brut <\/h3>\n

Perhaps the appearance of this champagne house among the most expensive, no surprise. But Brut P3 Pl\u00e9nitude is only the first of the five champagnes Dom Perignon in our list.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This Cuvee from the category of late bottling, which is kept on the lees for several stages.<\/p>\n

The first stage is “standard” \u2013 produced in 7-8 years.\n<\/p>\n

The second one \u2013 marked as P2 (below in our list) \u2013 disgorging takes place after 12-15 years of aging.\n<\/p>\n

And finally, the last \u2013 P3 is disgorging after 20-30 years after harvest.\n<\/p>\n

The holding company LVMH (which owns the brand Dom Perignon) made the right decision, taking the difficult decision to hold its flagship champagne, reaching an average of $175 per bottle. Their expectations have paid off handsomely. Bottle series P3 will cost you now about $1692.<\/p>\n

\u2778 Dom P\u00e9rignon \u0152noth\u00e8que Ros\u00e9<\/h3>\n

\nThe change came Oenoth\u00e8que range P\u00e9rignon”s Pl\u00e9nitude of the Dom, but vintages of this “library release” still waiting for the price of about $1195.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThese vintage blend Pinot Noir with Chardonnay spent 20-30 years in the chalk cellars of Dom Perignon dungeons of the commune of \u00e9pernay. More vintages of this label will no longer be produced. So if you have overlooked a thousand bucks, these bubbles can be a good investment. <\/p>\n

\u2779 Dom P\u00e9rignon R\u00e9serve de L’abbaye<\/h3>\n

The house playing with their bubbles and at the fourth place of our list price parade with the position, also known as Dom P\u00e9rignon Gold or Gold Reserve.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThis freestanding range made by the tastes of Japanese consumers.<\/p>\n

As the series P3, this champagne is produced after 20-30 years of aging, but the price is markedly different. If you manage to get it, it would cost you an average of $989 per bottle. <\/p>\n

\nIt is noteworthy that bottle R\u00e9serve de L’abbaye have individual rooms, which is very unusual for this champagne house.\n<\/p>\n

\u277a Krug Clos du Mesnil Blanc de Blancs<\/h3>\n

Of the Circle no one expects that he will be cheap, so the reappearance of this brand in our list is also not a surprise. This time with a vintage Blanc de Blancs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.84 hectare vineyard Clos du Mesnil, located in the village of Mesnil-sur-Oger (Mesnil-Sur-Oger), surrounded by a stone wall since 1698 and is one of the recognizable objects in champagne.<\/p>\n

This monosortovoe millesime champagne from a single vineyard costs around $961 per bottle.<\/p>\n

\u277b Krug Collection Brut<\/h3>\n

Excerpt champagne will cost you money. Or you pay them buying champagne, which has already endured for you.<\/p>\n

In sixth place we have again a Circle and Krug Collection.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The house retains part of the production of individual vintages for further aging. The wines are stored in ideal conditions, then tasted, evaluated and awaiting the “second coming out” in the light. Krugman patiently waiting for a second chance to pick up such Cuvee at an average price of $872 per bottle.<\/p>\n

\u277c Dom P\u00e9rignon \u0152noth\u00e8que Brut Millesime. <\/h3>\n

As with all other “Wine” Home of Dom Perignon, a version of the Brut millesime is no longer available under this label (which can be translated as “wine library”). <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nOffers vintages until 1959 and still is in the database, wine-searcher.<\/p>\n

The price of this vintage champagne is aged an average of $764. <\/p>\n

\u277d Pl\u00e9nitude of Dom P\u00e9rignon P2 Brut Ros\u00e9 <\/h3>\n

\nDom P\u00e9rignon Ros\u00e9 is an average of $320 per bottle. Add a dozen years of exposure to release \u2013 and now the price has more than doubled \u2013 at $758 per bottle. Looks like a good investment, right? No.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it’s not just exposure, but how much the wine spent on its lees before degorgement. Just Ros\u00e9 and Ros\u00e9 P2 of the same year will be different taste and aroma. And obviously, this difference pulls a $ 400.<\/p>\n

\u277e Bollinger Villes Vignes Fran\u00e7aises Blanc de Noirs<\/h3>\n

Finally, we pulled out of the portfolios of Dom Perignon, Krug and LVMH. And pass on to family champagne house and the favorite champagne of James bond \u2013 Bellange. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A little story behind this Blanc de Noir, makes it particularly attractive and, perhaps, justifies a price tag of $732 per bottle.\n<\/p>\n

In the early 20th century, the phylloxera aphid wiped out most of the vineyards of champagne. Almost all the vines had to be grafted onto American roots. Apart from two plots of Pinot Noir in AI belonging Bellange. These vines were not grafted in, and become a source of grapes for Vieille Vignes fran\u00e7aise (Villes Vignes Fran\u00e7aises).<\/p>\n

Very small berries, very little monosortovogo Pinot Noir and very small bottles of champagne: only about 3500 in a good year.<\/p>\n

\u277f Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Silver Blanc de Noirs<\/h3>\n

Known for its logo with the ACE of spades and distinctive metallic design of the bottles, Armand de Brignac closes our rating for its champagne Blanc de Noir with a price tag of $708 per bottle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This non-vintage champagne produced by Cattier family (Cattier) \u2013 owners of champagne vineyards since 1763 and is aged for at least five years in their own cellars. <\/p>\n

Cuv\u00e9e made from vintage trio: the first \u2013 from crops 2006,2008 and 2009, and the second from 2008,2009 and 2010.
\nEach bottle comes with an individual number. Less than 3000 bottles of the first assemblage and second of all 2333.<\/p>\n
