It’s always interesting to sum up a year trough the list of Champagnes that has been enjoyed during the year that pasted. Below is the most personal list of 2021 trough the bottles & glasses by Björnstierne aka #TheChampagneSommelier. So here it it is; Top-300 Champagnes 2021 by TheChampagneSommelier.
At the end of the year it is time to sum up the Champagne year. During a normal year I will open between 2,500-3,000 bottles of Champagne privately & in my profession as a sommelier. I taste about 600-700 unique champagnes per year. Below I publish my top-300 Champagnes of 2021. To get in to the top-300 the Champagnes usually hit the 90-point mark. [90-94 points – Outstanding: a champagne of superior character and style]
