Here's a valuable wine-tasting suggestion from Wine Spectator: opt for practical attire! When visiting Morgan Creek, a functioning vineyard, ditch the high heels in favor of flats or other comfortable shoes to easily explore the premises. Avoiding light-colored and loose-sleeved clothing is recommended to minimize the risk of spills. Stay prepared and stylish for an enjoyable wine-tasting experience. #WineTips #VineyardEtiquette

Whether enjoyed as a contemplative sip by the fireside or as the star ingredient in a classic cocktail, brandy invites us to slow down, savor the moment, and indulge in life's simple pleasures. So join us as we raise a glass to the timeless allure of brandy – to its rich history, its exquisite craftsmanship, and the moments of joy and connection it brings to our lives.

Dom Perignon P2 2000 Dom Pérignon was the 17th century Benedictine monk who has gone down in history as the person who "invented" Champagne. His name was originally registered by Eugène Mercier. He sold the brand name to Moët & Chandon, which used it as the name for its prestige cuvée, which was first released in 1937. A rigorous selection process in both the vineyard and winery ensures that only the best grapes go into Dom Pérignon champagne. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are used in roughly equal proportions without one variety dominating the other. There are three plenitudes in the life of a given vintage: the first plenitude spans between seven to eight years after the vintage, which is when Dom Pérignon Vintage is released, while the second one arrives between 12 and 15 years – which was previously the first oenothèque release, but from now will be branded as P2. The third window comes after around 30 years, when the Champagne has spent more than 20 years on its lees, which will now be termed as P3.

Another sensational arrival at "Italian wine collector" Just arrived a DOM PERIGNON 1964!!! Dom Perignon Champagne is probably the best-known bubble in the world, named after the Benedictine monk intimately linked to the origins of Champagne itself. It was marketed in 1936 by Robert-Jean de Vogue with the idea of creating a luxury Champagne and, to do so, he enclosed the family Moet 1921 Reserve in the historic bottle. The first "real" Dom Perignon harvest will arrive in 1947. Today this historic Champagne is produced only with its own Grand Cru grapes and, to boast the label, must guarantee an aging potential of at least 30 years. From the olfactory approach, Dom Perignon is intense, with the typical minerality of the maison in the foreground accompanied by smoky nuances. The notes of the Chardonnay also slowly reveal themselves, pleasantly buttery: in short, it is immediately defined as a great Champagne, capable of enhancing the typicality of the label. Conceptually, Dom Pérignon only exists as a vintage. Dom Pérignon Vintage champagne is born from an extremely rigorous selection of the best terroirs of Champagne. Depending on the quality of the vintage, Dom Pérignon chooses to declare the vintage or not. In line with its ideals, Dom Pérignon Vintage champagne reveals itself after more than 8 years of processing and rest in the cellar. Dom Perignon Champagne is always very balanced between the finesse of the bubble, the roundness of the body and the richness of the taste, always noble and never over the top. A historically high-level Champagne, which never ceases to amaze despite the passing of the harvests. For any information or price list contact me privately

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... 😉 Recently A good friend of mine raised an exiting question about Champagne, which gave some food for thought. What is perceived to be the top 5 Champagnes worldwide? It is a difficult question and I believe, after contemplating, there is no right or wrong answer. It lies in a number of things, namely price, exclusivity or critic’s choices... However you could also go with a different approach. If to choose on what is exclusive and therefore expensive, some marketing comes into play. A great example is ‘Ace of Spades’! Jay-Z officially purchased Armand de Brignac in November 2014. Since the celebrity’s acquisition, the popularity of the brand has skyrocketed! The bottles do have the bling factor, however the quality of the champagne itself is under constant scrutiny. If size does matter its 30 liter Midas secured its place on the market as the one and only! The famous champagne houses have more funds to market their sparkly elixir, and thus are often perceived as ‘better’ champagnes. For me, consistency and complexity is key in tasting champagne. Since the drink itself means celebration, I would like to taste similarities in my new milestone’s and remember the old whenever we pop a bottle. I close my eyes, take the first sip.. and memories flow.. My personal top 5 is this: 1. Krug Clos du Mesnil 2000 or Krug in general 2. Ruinart ‘Blancs des Blancs’ 3. Bollinger La Grande Année 2007 4. Billecart-Salmon Rosé 5. Dom Perignon 1998 On my bucket list I have untried treasures: 1. Salon Champagne 1947 2. Salon Cuvée ‘S’ Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs 2002 What is your Top 5 of Champagnes? 🥂 As John Maynard Keynes said: “My only regret in life is that I didn’t drink enough Champagne.” 🍾 #Champagne #Maynard #BlancdeBlancs #Krug #BollingerLaGrandeAnnée2007 #SalonChampagne1947 #Jay-Z #BestChampagne #love #passion #wine #winery #wineyard

Questions that pop up a lot! 🥂 ❓How long can you keep champagne in your private cellar? ➡️ Contrary to what many people think, champagne is a wine that can be stored for (many) years! There is a required minimum ageing period for champagne before it is being released onto the market: 15 months for a non-vintage champagne and 36 months for a vintage champagne. However, most Champagne Houses and Champagne Producers release their cuvées (much) later, in order for the tertiary aromas to develop. The cellar master decides when a champagne is ready to be marketed. For non-vintage champagnes, the rule of thumb is that they can be stored up to 3-4 years, if stored correctly. Great champagnes and vintage champagnes can even be kept for a (much) longer time, in general 5-15+ years, after they have been released. Ideally, the right storage conditions include a constant temperature (preferably between 10-15 degrees Celsius), a dedicated dark space free of odours and vibrations, as well as a higher humidity level. At My private Champagne Cellar, your champagne (and wine) bottles are stored under excellent conditions; in authentic Champagne caves, where they have been born and raised. Ready to taste your champagne? Let us know when and where you would like to have them delivered. We’ll take care of them in the meantime.
