The Castlenau in GC is non-vintage, whereas the one last night in GF was a 2012 vintage, and I would say it was much nicer than the NV.

Not sure if LGW has had the Canard-Duchęne Charles VII yet? I note it isn't in LHR this morning either.

Not the same. I think the GC Castelnau is non-vintage.

The Castelanu in GF has mainly been the non-vintage today . They had 3-4 bottles of the vintage 2003 but it didn't last long. Agreed the vintage is much nicer. I've gone back to the Jeeper Rose.

Castelnau and Jeepers Rose in GF at LGW today. I always try and go for the Jeepers as the Castelnau gives me song headache in the morning!

As I noted up thread, the Charles VII was in LGW GF on September 29th but last Tuesday was back to the Castlenau 2012. I didn‘t try the latter but I still remember that the Charles VII was a pleasant surprise.

Charles VII and Jeepers in GF on the 16 Dec. Both very drinkable though the Mrs prefers LP Rose in the QR lounge at a similar price point to the Jeepers. And both better than the Castelnau Reserve NV currently served inflight in CE. (Ie top up before you board)

The same today, and a rather lovely 2014 Auxey Duresse which is drinking very well indeed.

What are the current champagnes on offer on Club World? Has it changed from Henriot?

Thank you!
