As from June 2015, all posts and features on Champagne are now appearing on this site rather than WW.com (some of the links below will still go there until I sort them out). "Go figure," you might be saying (Champagne, Mediterranean?); but the idea is that everything French will end up here eventually, starting with the first link below to a post on a Drappier special cuvée.
And coming soon(ish): a Champagne de Vignerons special feature ('growers' Champagne, i.e. smaller vineyard owners who make Champers from their own grapes rather than selling them to the big houses)...
Champagne: Drappier IV 'Quattuor' (June 2015)
Champagne & sparkling wines festive fizz (Dec 2013) featuring nice bottles that crossed my path: Cava, Prosecco, the Cape, England, Champagne and sparkling Shiraz.
A couple of Champagnes "of the moment": Champagne Louis Chaurey Brut (M&S) and Premier Cru Champagne (Tesco) (New Year's Eve 2012, updated with super-duper Croser Sparkling from Aus).
Champers vs English fizz: Pierre Gimonnet et Fils and Gusbourne Estate, Kent (Sept 2011).
"Yawn, yet another luxury special edition..." : Champagne Gosset (Dec 2009).
Pass the Bolly or "if it's the 85 you were expecting me...": Bollinger feast including some fab old vintages (May 2004).
As for other French fizz: Crémant de Bourgogne which you'll find there on my Burgundy page.
Limoux fizz which is about to be updated (summer 2015) plus there's this too: Delmas Crémant de Limoux (Jan 2010).
