Killer Champagne, killer price

[Bucko]

1995 Perrier-Jouët, Champagne, Fleur De Champagne, Belle Epoque, Brut, France, $120. An intense bead with a persistent mousse, along with delicate sweetness (1.25% dosage). Firmly structured, you’ll find toasty flavors with honey and vanilla notes on the long, very crisp finish. 90/87.

Bucko, are you just trying to get my goat or are you really serious? Do you know how many bottles of far superior champagne you could squeeze into that $120????

Try one each of

Larmandier-Bernier 1995 Vieille Vigne Grand Cru Cramant Blanc de Blancs ($42.00)

Henri Billiot Brut Reserve 1995, Grand Cru Ambonnay ($52.00)

A.R. Le Noble 1990 Grand Cru de Chouilly Blanc de Blancs ($35.00)


If I wasn't packing for a quick trip to Rio de Janeiro (I'll be back on Thursday) I would go off on the mother of all rants vis a vis where MOST of your money went (into the maw of the giant PR Machine that was Seagrams and not in that tarted up bottle) but I am thinking about samba and fresh mango juice and a minha namorada....

Don't get me wrong, that is good juice, it just costs WAY more than better juice that can be had with a little effort (and not just from us).

Killer as in way too expensive, not killer as in great value.
