Fizzy and posh

I do like Champagne. And I appreciate the arrogant way the producers have managed to brand their beverage so successfully to keep it top shelf (not that all of the Champagne in Champagne is…). I also love that one of it’s founding fathers was a monk. And of course that it’s fizzy. The place matches the tone, it’s a bit on the pricey side yet not quite as posh as it makes out to be. It’s actually worth learning about the different grape varieties that go into champers, the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meuniers are quite different and not many people know that.
