Hello r/wine! I am planning a champagne tasting for my dad's retirement party and I need help deciding which order to drink these bottles. I will have some snacks available (fruit, nuts, cheese, etc.) but will not be pairing these with a meal.
Paul Laurent Cuvee de Fondateur Mason Andre Delorme Cuvee Rose Brut (I know its not technically a champagne but it is delightful) Ruinart Blanc de Blancs
I am in a predicament, as I have always heard to go lightest to boldest, and youngest to oldest. However, I think my oldest (and most expensive) bottle is also the brightest/lightest. However, i feel like starting with the highest quality bottle may do it a disservice.
I purchased these three bottles from a local distributor, and was told the Paul Laurent would a have a bolder palette with more bready notes, although I haven't tasted it.
Would anyone with more experience help this novice determine which to drink first? Thank you!
