In October 2017, Jancis Robinson MW hosted our standout Champagne tasting of the year: a comparison of eight pairs of prestige cuvée and vintage champagne from the same house. The evening was a huge success, proving the great value to be found in the vintage category. If you weren’t able to attend the event or simply want to relive the experience, our video footage of the evening is now live.
Below you can watch a video of each individual pair, which features an introduction from Jancis, a discussion of their differences and a reveal of the live voting results. At the bottom of the page you can watch a complete video of the entire tasting. Read the full write-up of the tasting here.
