Champagne Awards

‘On an annual basis, I blind taste the current champagne offering twice, first for The Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships (CSWWC) and then for FINE Champagne and thetastingbook.com ‘100 Best Champagnes’ classification. Both competitions are rigorously judged and include the very best wines of the region, making them uniquely comprehensive snapshots of the quality of champagnes available on the international markets. For me they are extremely important, as blind tasting gives such a useful reality check for any brand prejudices. Hopefully these will be good shopping lists for you! Here you can see the results from all the years.’
