I don't know why I'm not enamoured with Krug. I've had it more than my fair share of times in the past 18 months (thanks CX F et al.), but I'm still not swayed into it. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice drop that I'll take over a handful of others quite handily. Maybe it's a bit too earthy, but I hear some people like that kind of character.
My go-to bubbles are still Taittinger Comtes de Champagne and Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill. The Bollinger Grande Année is also a great choice, though I think the previous vintage is better than the current one. For a mixed vintage Champagne, Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle is quite acceptable.
The JAL exclusive Salon is interesting - above the regular crowd, but not one of my go-to selections.
As many who know me will know, I consider Dom Perignon a write-off. Same with Deutz.
Perhaps I'm not quite the right person to ask at times about Champagne. I don't drink as much of it - or at least, as much of it in a single sitting - as many people here do.
