There is one thing better than drinking Champagne and that is sampling an entire range of Champagne with a French person that is passionate about what they do. Last night we were fortunate to have Ophelie Neil from the Brand Ambassador for Mumm here is New Zealand. From the very beginning Ophelie bought with her an infectious enthusiasm for the product that she represents. We started with a Blanc de Blanc 2012 and the people attending were very respectful and sedate. The next wine we went to was the NV (always a crowd pleaser) but instead of just opening Ophelie asked two members of the audience to open the NV using the “sabrage method”, this involves a very stylish sword. There was much spraying a lot of laughter and a lot of filming. This was such a whimsical way to start the tasting and it relaxed the whole room. After we all settled down to taste through the range and every wine was a delight, all different slightly in style but all with a hallmark of excellence.
