- Tigger - 09-28-1999 Probably a tedious and over-asked question, but I need advice for champagne to serve at my wedding... I have a deal with a friend who has informed me that he'll get us a case of ANYTHING we ask for.... so, folks, if you could have that anything, what would it be? I know little about champagne but we will be serving hors d'eouvre far -- foie gras, beluga caviar, cheeses and fruit, some seafood... only nineteen people including the two of us so we're going all out. - Randy Caparoso - 09-29-1999 Here's the upshot: most of the finest French Champagnes are already sold out between now and next Feb. or March. Residuals of the millennium madness. But if a case of something can be found, here are some of the best known, and most widely distributed, "tete de cuvees" (or top-of-the-lines), which generally run between $75 and $175 a bottle, depending: Full, fleshy, strongly yeasted styles: Louis Roederer "Cristal" Veuve Clicquot "La Grande Dame" Bollinger "RD" Medium weight, rich and elegant styles: Krug "Grande Cuvee" Moet & Chandon "Cuvee Dom Perigon" Delicate, extraordinarily refined styles: Perrier Jouet "Fleur de Champagne" Taittinger "Comtes de Champagne" Blanc de Blancs Congrats ahead of time! |
