The Most interesting Bubble’s founder, Nick Baker, organised a wonderful tasting displaying the best examples of Grand Marque champagne, in addition to a number of very superb “grower producers”. 

Consuming magnums of champagne is usually seen as a enjoyable extravagance (which in fact, it’s!) however enjoyable just isn’t the one upside of a big format possibility. Wine in bigger containers, age extra slowly. At The Most interesting Bubble we tasted plenty of the sparklers in each their 75cl bottle and in magnum. Every time there was a marked distinction between the 2. Elevated freshness and openness of the fruit character appears to be a prevalent characteristic. I’m hoping that extra tastings sooner or later provide us the chance to match wines aged in several format bottles.
