Prestige Cuvee Vs Vintage Champagne Tasting in London

Champagne Tasting on 11th Oct 2017. A comparison of 8 Prestige Cuvée vs 8 Vintage Champagnes presented by Jancis Robinson MW at 67 Pall Mall

The splendour of prestige cuvées is no secret, but their vintage counterparts can be somewhat overlooked in comparison. Tasted blind alongside each other in the past, we have been surprised at how well vintage champagnes have performed; so we decided to give them a chance to prove what they're worth! Simply comparing the two will be a remarkable discovery, but to add another layer of intrigue the Prestige Cuvées will be tasted from bottle and the Vintages from magnum.

Champagnes to be tasted (16 in total):
Bollinger R.D. 2002 75cl vs La Grande Année 2007 1.5L
Dom Pérignon 2009 75cl vs Moët 2008 1.5L
Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires 1995 75cl vs Brut Millésimé 2005 1.5L
Lanson Clos Lanson 2006 75cl vs Gold Label Brut Vintage 2005 1.5L
Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle NV 75cl vs Vintage 2006 1.5L
Louis Roederer Cristal 2009 75cl vs Brut Vintage 2009 1.5L
Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 2006 75cl vs Brut Vintage 2008 1.5L
Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2006 75cl vs Brut Vintage 2009 1.5L

Prestige cuvées are typically aged for a few more years than the 'standard' vintage release, so when a house launches its current vintage, it is usually a few more years before we see the prestige cuvée release catch up. However, the Champagne fanatics amongst you may notice that many of the above Champagnes are new, or even yet to be released. With many expected to hit the market later this year, the pairs will be much closer together in vintage than normally seen. This tasting will therefore be a unique opportunity to not only be amongst the first to taste some exceptional newly released cuvées, but to do so when the vintage gap between the prestige cuvée and current vintage is significantly reduced.

Jancis comments: "This will be very, very good!"
