Holiday Gift Guide for the Champagne Wine Lover | Best Gifts for the Wine Enthusiast
Travel and Champagne
Thinking of what gifts to get the champagne lover in your life? I have been searching for the best gifts for any champagne lover and here are the gifts that I think any champagne (or wine lover!) would love to give or get!
A HOSTED VIRTUAL CHAMPAGNE TASTING
Book a champagne tasting experience with me as your guide! I have recently launched my champagne tastings just in time for the holidays. The tastings are completely customizable and I will help you find your champagnes via online retailers. You can have people from all over the world join your virtual tasting.
I will help you find the champagnes depending on your preference (House Style, Rosé, Blanc de Blancs, Vintage Years, Etc.) I will send you a sheet electronically for the tastings as well as an overview on champagne, and some fun pairing ideas! s
I will also send the Zoom Link to all members of your party.
I am excited to share my champagne knowledge with you!
FUN CHAMPAGNE GIFT SETS
I am currently obsessed with these Laurent Perrier Gift Sets! They are perfect for your holiday gifting.
You can choose from the rosé gift set which comes from of my favorite rosés the Laurent Perrier Cuvée Rosé which is a 100 percent Pinot Noir rosé made in the saignée method (grapes are macerated for the perfect color and fresh fruit flavors).
You can also choose the Laurent Perrier Brut La Cuvée Gift Set which is perfect for a new champagne lover. I love their house style which is a reductive style that is Chardonnay dominant. This is a great gift for a champagne novice or for anyone who wants some great glassware paired with a great champagne at a great price!
CROWD PLEASING CHAMPAGNES TO GIFT
Louis Roederer Brut Premier - Another great gift box that is the perfect stocking stuffer is the Louis Roederer Brut Premier. This is another one of my favorite Non Vintage Brut champagnes. This is the champagne house that makes the famous Cristal and you can try their entry level brut for under $50! This champagne is excellently made and is also the great champagne to pair with your holiday meal! This is a great champagne to pop open over the holidays and share with close friends and family (or virtually share it as I did!)
Champagne Billecart-Salmon Brut Sous Bois - Spice up the holidays with the Brut Sous Bois from Champagne Billecart-Salmon. The Brut Sous Bois is vinified in oak casks giving it a more oxidative character than the other champagnes I have mentioned so far. All three main grapes are used in this champagne: Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This has more structure and power due to the oak characteristics and can stand up to any holiday meal. This will definitely be on my holiday table.
CHRISTMAS WITH CHARLIE
Anyone else always watch a Charlie Brown Christmas? Whether you answered yes or no - Champagne Charles Heidsieck is the perfect champagne choice on Christmas day (or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa).
You can find also find both champagnes in a gift box which also makes them the perfect gift to give or receive (or even better to gift yourself!)
Both the Brut Reserve and Rosé Reserve use a great proportion of reserve wines in the blend (these wines are also between 5 -20 years old!) which is much older than other champagne houses. This adds great character to both these champagnes and makes them ideal for gastronomic dishes and your holiday dinner.
