A personalized wedding gift is an excellent way to express your love and best wishes to a married couple. If the couple already has glassware on their registry, a champagne wedding gift adds a special and sophisticated touch.
When wedding season arrives, you may find yourself scrambling to gather all of the gifts. The champagne wedding gift is simple and elegant, so it will surely make a great choice for the new couple.
So What Should Your Champagne Wedding Gift Contain?
Choose a bottle of champagne and a set of stemless champagne glasses as the main parts of the gift. You should have at least two glasses in the bowl so that the happy couple can toast each other on their special day. You can always fill out the rest of the bowl or basket by including a full set. Give champagne wedding gifts a personal touch by having the couple’s initials or names monogrammed directly onto the glasses.
What Champagne Should You Choose?
When it comes to weddings, you want to give the new couple something practical and meaningful. Champagne is always a smart choice because the couple can drink it to celebrate their marriage. If you know a type of champagne that your couple likes, use it to make this champagne wedding gift. It’s simple, doesn’t take much extra time, and it will certainly impress the new couple.
With that said, here are the best Champagnes for the perfect champagne wedding gift.
Champagne Jacquesson Cuvee 745
The Jacquesson Cuvee 745 is an excellent non-vintage Extra Brut Champagne made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes with a dosage of only 1.5 grams per litre.
Grapes are sourced from Jacquesson’s premier vineyards in the Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs, and the finished cuvee is aged for three years on the lees in the bottle before disgorgement and release to the market. There are uplifting notes of lemon zest, grapefruit, and subtle toasted wood on the nose, while the first sip reveals crisp acidity, medium body, and a delicate mousse from the fine bubbles. This dry Champagne pairs well with seafood and fish dishes and also works well as an aperitif before a special dinner or family celebration.
Champagne Agrapart 7 Crus
Avize, Cramant, Oger, Oiry, Avenay Val d’Or, Bergères-lès-Vertus, and Mardeuil are the seven villages represented by 7 Crus. This Champagne is typically made up of wines from two vintages, with half of the older vintage aged in oak to add complexity and richness. The end result is wonderfully complex champagne with fresh citrus and green apple flavours and a crisp acidity. The mousse is smooth and delicate on the palate, with flavours that are a perfect balance of bright citrus and toasty hints from the oak ageing.
Louis Bouillot Perle d’Aurore Crémant de Bourgogne Rose
The delicate pink hue of the Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Gamay grapes makes this delightful sparkling wine a one-of-a-kind Crémant de Bourgogne. This delicious bubbly is ideal for drinking as an aperitif or in a relaxed setting with friends, with aromas of redcurrants, raspberries, and aromatic white flowers. The first sip reveals a smooth mousse, vibrant freshness, and seductive ripe red berry flavours, making it an ideal complement to cheeses, charcuterie, or light salads.
Allimant Laugner Crémant d’Alsace Rose
The delicate stream of tiny bubbles and inviting aromas of fresh strawberries, cherries, and white flowers will greet you as soon as you pour yourself a glass. The first sip reveals a bright acidity, smooth mousse from the bubbles, and enticing red berry flavours on the finish, which is very clean and pure. This Cremant’s lively personality makes it ideal as an aperitif or with spicy Asian cuisine or fresh seafood. Cellar for up to 5 years. Serve chilled.
Louis Bouillot Perle d’Ivoire Cremant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blancs
By blending together two styles of Chardonnay, this manufacturer creates well-balanced Cremant de Bourgogne which combines fresh citrus and vibrant acidity with richer tropical fruit flavours. The grapes are fermented according to the traditional method which is also used for Champagnes. The wine is then matured in the bottle on the lees for 18 months. This extended ageing period adds a softer, creamy texture and hints of fresh pastries and nuts. The rich flavour profile and bright bubbles in this wine make it an excellent option for celebrations and aperitifs, but it is also a gastronomic wine which can pair with anything from sushi, oysters, grilled fish, or asparagus dishes.
