Prestige Cuvee Champagne

A 'Prestige Cuvée' is a champagne at the very top of a producer's range.

Since there are no official guidelines for designating a Prestige Cuvée as there are for other categories of French champagne, this question can only be answered by understanding a champagne house's wine making philosophy and tasting the end result of the wine maker's best effort.
