The global domination of the 'Grandes Marques' of Champagne is one of the wine world's most astonishing commercial successes. It's easy to underrate the significant challenge of maintaining their impressive consistency at volume in the face of often brutal vintage variation. Even in a declining global wine market, the household-name brand recognition for wines that cost far above what the average consumer would spend on any other kind of drink remains mystifying and impressive - and most of them are dependably delicious.
But which ones are actually worth the money? Which is the best of the big names? Which is your favourite? We'll be testing brand loyalties and blind-tasting our way through sixteen of the big houses' biggest sellers to find out, including Bollinger, Roederer, Pol Roger, Billecart-Salmon, and many, many more. Come and discover which non-vintage Champagnes you should be buying...
