How to choose THE champagne for a wedding
Type of champagne
- Champagne Brut : the most popular choice for weddings thanks to its balance of acidity and sweetness.
- Champagne Demi-sec : slightly sweeter, perfect for desserts and gourmet moments.
- Champagne Blanc de Blancs : made exclusively from chardonnay, this type of champagne is light, fresh and ideal for warm days. It has aromas of white flowers, lemon and white-fleshed fruit.
- Champagne Blanc de Noirs : made from black grapes (Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier), offering a richer, fuller-bodied profile.
Champagne House
When selecting a champagne for your wedding, it is essential to choose well-known champagne houses. These houses have an established reputation and a long history of expertise, guaranteeing superior quality. By choosing a renowned champagne such as Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Pascal Agrapart, Ruinart or Deutz, you are offering your guests a mark of elegance and prestige that will make this moment even more special.
Price and quantity
It's important to start by determining a budget per bottle of champagne to help you make the right choices. Take into account the nature of the event and the number of guests to adjust your budget accordingly. Once you've set your budget, don't hesitate to compare prices and look out for promotions and special offers to get the best value for money on your champagnes. You can currently take advantage of the Friends & Family sale with reductions of up to 30% off the original price.
In terms of quantity, we recommend one bottle of champagne for three people. You are then free to adjust the quantity of champagne according to the number of guests and the length of the event.
Champagne and food pairings for a wedding
Champagne for aperitifs
To open the festivities, choose a light, lively champagne, such as a Brut Classic champagne. This type of champagne is refreshing and sparkling, perfect for awakening the taste buds and preparing your guests for the rest of the meal. Its balanced acidity and delicate fruit and floral aromas make it an ideal choice for a successful aperitif.
Champagne for main course
The choice of champagne may vary according to the main course being served. If you are serving seafood or fish, a Blanc de Blancs will be perfect. It offers a finesse and freshness that go wonderfully well with marine flavours. For white meat dishes, opt for a champagne with a little more body, such as a Blanc de Noirs. Made from Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier grapes, it has a more robust structure and deeper aromas.
Champagne for dessert
To accompany your desserts, choose a slightly sweeter champagne, such as a Demi-sec champagne. This type of champagne, with its soft, sweet notes, goes well with a variety of desserts, from pastries to fruit. It adds an exquisite finishing touch to your meal.
