Champagne is a region that offers a most extraordinary drink: a white or rosé wine with sparkle and fizz. And one that always creates a contented smile. Sometimes honeyed with sweetness, or simply just delicate and fresh, Champagne is always mouth-filling with different flavors. Layers, one over the other, offer hints from fruit to nuts to brioche with every sip. It then becomes only a choice of style, be it grape and color, or dryness and taste. One can select from the handfuls of distinctive and recognizable large house blends, such as the elegant and dry Laurent-Perrier, rich and complex Bollinger, and the full-flavored, immediately recognizable, Veuve Clicquot. Smaller family-owned houses such as Agrapart & Fils, create a remarkable selection of Champagnes, including a creamy, green-apple non-vintage, a stylish and flavorful Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs, and even a sumptuous Rosé. The sophisticated and multi-layered Champagnes of Audoin de Dampierre are another excellent choice among the smaller family producers. Laurent-Perrier, known for their lush yet serious Brut Rosé, and complex three-vintage blend of their Grand Siècle, is an example of a large, ambitious family-owned, high-volume operation, always richly flavored and consistent. Whether the Champagne selected is from the houses of Delbeck, Deutz, Egly-Ouriet, Lancelot-Royer, Perrier-Jouet, Bruno Paillard, Jean Vesselle or Pierre Moncuit, choice is only limited by personal taste and the opportunity to try something new.
