Veuve Clicquot YL
Louis Roederer Brut Premier
Taittinger Prelude
I'm going to a dinner party and would like to purchase a mid-priced bottle of brut champagne that most people will like and that will go with most foods. It can't be too extreme; it has to have wide appeal. I don't know what food will be served but I'm sure there's going to be a lot of variety.
My local liquor store does not carry a lot of champagne. From what I saw, all of the options are from big name houses. There are a lot of cheap sparkling wines for $10-$15 (the big names, Martini Rossi etc.) which I know won't interest my friends and a few Vintage options for over $100, which are out of my price range.
What I'm looking at are the 3 options I posted above. In addition to those 3, the store carries Moet & Chandon White Star (which I'm not crazy about) and Taittinger La Francaise (which I think is ok, but I've heard Prelude, which I have not had, is significantly better).
Any help/advice/opinons would be much appreciated!
