Some people think of Champagne as liquid gold<\/strong>, and we think that\u2019s a good description. Champagne is for drinking, certainly, but it\u2019s also a luxury product. Like a handbag or watch, the finest Champagnes exude class, quality and attainment. They\u2019re \u201cobjects\u201d, not mere products or bottles of wine. At the very top end of the Champagne market, this liquid gold is taken to extremes. Here we will look at some of the most luxurious Champagnes on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gold Champagne?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When we talk about \u201cGold Champagne<\/strong>\u201d, we aren\u2019t talking about Champagne made of real gold. Instead, we are talking in the figurative sense, about the gold standard of high end Champagne. These wines are the best of the best, the world\u2019s finest sparkling wines and almost worth their weight in gold!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dom P\u00e9rignon Oenoth\u00e8que<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The name <\/span>Dom P\u00e9rignon<\/span><\/a> needs no introduction, such is its reputation throughout the world as a luxury Champagne. Dom P\u00e9rignon vintage Champagne routinely costs in excess of \u20ac150, and other cuv\u00e9es can stretch into several hundreds. At the very high end of this luxury portfolio sits Dom P\u00e9rignon Oenoth\u00e8que<\/a>: These truly luxurious Champagnes have been aged with the utmost care by the Dom P\u00e9rignon cellar masters for many years, and are then released between 15 and 30 years after the vintage date, when the experts feel they are truly at their peak. This is decided by individually disgorging and tasting everything before it leaves the cellar. To lay hands on an example, such as <\/span>Dom P\u00e9rignon Ros\u00e9 Oenoth\u00e8que 1992<\/span><\/a>, is a bucket list experience for any wine lover, and only a precious few will ever have the privilege. The bottle may be the distinctive dark Dom P\u00e9rignon shade, but make no mistake: This is truly gold Champagne!<\/span><\/p>\n

Krug Clos du Mesnil<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Among the most luxurious Champagnes that money can be, Krug Clos du Mesnil is a single varietal and single vineyard wine from the iconic Krug Champagne house. The Clos du Mesnil vineyard is a tiny 1.85 hectare plot within Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the best known <\/span>Grand Cru Champagne<\/span><\/a> villages in the C\u00f4te des Blancs. Krug Champagne in general commands high prices and huge prestige, though the Clos du Mesnil represents another level entirely; this is surely gold Champagne.<\/span><\/p>\n
