Here’s a film from a recent tasting of Veuve Clicquot Champagnes with Francois Hautekeur. It’s quite a long clip, so I’ve split it in two, and this is part 1. Francois enters into some very interesting discussion of Champagne generally, and the different philosophies between non-vintage and vintage wines.

This is the blog of wine journalist Jamie Goode, online since 2001. Feel free to nose around; your comments are welcomed.

Thanks for a very interesting interview. I loved the way Francois Hautekeur talked about the profiles of the vintage and NV Veuve Clicquot Champagnes. Looking forward to Part 2.
