Wine Battle: VEUVE CLICQUOT vs $27 CRÉMANT!
John Jackson, DipWSET a/k/a Attorney Somm conducts a wine battle - a single-blind-wine-tasting -- between the iconic Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne, which sells for $53-80, and a Crémant de Bourgogne that sells for $27 - to discover which wine is better!
Attorney Somm first discusses the history of Veuve Clicquot, the Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne and its production details, and then introduces the competitor - the Henri Champliau Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Authentique, which sells for $27.
Attorney Somm then tastes each of these wines blind, rates the wines and tries to identify which wine is which. After that, he does the reveal!
Watch to find out whether the iconic Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label can beat a $27 Crémant!

Good analysis, John. These days I tend to buy half a case of NV (usually grower) Champagne each year and drink them the following year. I do buy occasional bottles of grande marque, usually when they are on special offer, especially as some RM is becoming more expensive than NM wines. Vintage is a rare treat reserved for special occasions. I have some English vintage (2010) and the odd bottle of Lanson gold label (2008) but not much else in the cellar: a gap that needs to be filled! My problem is finishing a bottle over two days if I am drinking it as an aperitif, as my wife can't drink more than a few sips. I tend to open Champagne, therefore, when we have guests. I have started buying half bottles of Cremant, such as Saumur and Cremant d'Alsace, to enjoy at the weekend. They are rather good even if they don't quite have the complexity of good Champagne. Thanks again for another thought-provoking video.

@@stevenholt4936 Thank you, Steven! I wonder if you could find half bottles? There is definitely a lot of enjoyable Cremant at reasonable prices now. Nice to have some alternatives! Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Hey JJ! I can't resist a great champagne, I have had to cut back to only consuming it on any day ending in "y", and any other time, I never touch it. I do however agree that my hearts' desire needs a good moat (my equivalent to your term cellar defender which I heard Dr Matthew Horkey credit you with awhile ago). My favorite local has the highly acclaimed Sieur d'Arques Aimery Grand Cuvée 1531 at $22.80AUD in any six. Cheers! 🥂

Exciting blind tasting and excellent presentation-very much enjoyed this Bubbly Battle! I love how each wine was introduced, discussed, and differentiated from each other. Of course, the tasting part is the highlight of this outstanding video! The tasting, the notes and descriptors, the suspense building up, the assessments and final analysis-truly well done! And what about that beautiful tropical view? It certainly further elevated the ambience of your hotel setting. I hope you will do blind tasting more often, John. Cheers!

Don’t mean to be a pedant, but “descriptor” is the term(s) used to describe the sensory experience, not the actual thing being described. Also, the “brut zero) crémants from burgundy, to my tastes, tend to give a more comparable experience to champagne; in general
