12 Champagne Brands Ranked Worst to Best

The most famous Champagne in the world finishes eleventh out of twelve. The bottle at number one is built from reserve wines that wait up to fifteen years in magnums under cork, in a cellar in Aÿ. In this video, I rank the bottle each big house actually sells you, its flagship non-vintage Brut, from worst to best. Mumm, Moët & Chandon Impérial, Perrier-Jouët, Veuve Clicquot, Nicolas Feuillatte, Piper-Heidsieck, Taittinger, Laurent-Perrier, Louis Roederer Collection, Billecart-Salmon, Pol Roger and Bollinger Special Cuvée. For each one, I tell you the price, who owns the house, what is in the blend and how long it waited in the cellar. Every week, I tell you which famous bottles are worth the money:    / @henridarrieux   You also learn the 15-month legal minimum for Champagne, which houses wait three or four years instead, and how to choose between the fuller Pinot Noir style and the lighter Chardonnay style. Prices are approximate and change by state and by store. Nobody paid for this video.
