FINE Champagne and thetastingbook.com select the World’s Best Champagne – Ruinart Dom Ruinart Rosé 2002 claims the crown
FINE Champagne magazine, the international publication devoted to champagne and thetastingbook.com, the new on-line media for wine, announce their list of the “100 Best Champagnes for 2015”.
After days of blind-tasting hundreds of champagnes, the final results were tabulated. Any champagne making it into the Top 100 in the rigorous tasting by our editorial board and guest specialists can warmly be recommended. Still, there can only be one winner. In 2010 the title was given to Armand de Brignac Brut Gold NV, in 2011 to Piper-Heidsieck Rare 2002, in to 2012 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2000, in 2013 to Charles Heidsieck Vintage 2000, and last year to Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2002. This year rosé’s triumph continues with the majestic Ruinart Dom Ruinart Rosé 2002 claiming the title of the ‘Best Champagne for 2015’.
