The Best Champagnes For Celebrating Christmas The Right Way

Nothing but the best - by Chelsea Tromans

The Best Champagnes For Celebrating Christmas The Right Way

You know how there are certain bottles of bubbly you save for a special occasion? Well, these are them and Christmas is as good an excuse as any to pop them. These sparkling wines and champagnes are perfect for taking along to Christmas gatherings, stocking up on in case of unexpected guests, or for simply enjoying any night of the week in the countdown to Santa’s visit.

Taylor's Pinot Noir Chardonnay Brut Cuvée

Taylors premium bottle fermented style Brut Cuvée is crafted from the classic Champagne varieties of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Fresh, lively citrus zest flavours with an underlying creamy character and a delicate mousse - all hallmarks of fine Sparkling wine.

Cloudy Bay Pelorus Brut NV

This Chardonnay dominant blend has a crisp palate with aromas of ripe citrus and apple fruit. It’s a classic crowd-pleaser that pairs well with seafood. The price ain’t bad, either.

Cloudy Bay Pelorus Brut NV, $35.54; available at vintagecellars.com.au

Vallformosa Brut Mvsa Cava NV

The perfect pairing to a dozen oysters, this Spanish Cava balances bubbles and acid and has aromas of apples and pears, toasty bread and white flowers.

Vallformosa Brut Mvsa Cava NV, $23.99; available at vintagecellars.com.au

Moet & Chandon Imperial NV Gold Edition

What’s a champagne list without our friend Moët? For a special occasion, you can’t go past the supersized 1.5L Magnum Gold edition. Almost too pretty to pop, you’ll find Moët’s cult-favourite Brut Imperial (the world's biggest-selling Champagne) inside, which goes down a treat from canapes to dessert.

Moet & Chandon Imperial NV Gold Edition, $175; available at champagnegallery.com.au

Bellebonne 2016 Vintage Rosé

Made by Nat Fryer (aka the “Queen of Bubbles”), this sparkling rosé is made from 100% Tasmanian pinot noir. The aromas are a blend of strawberry, marzipan, Turkish delight and buttery pastry, which is the perfect level of indulgence to match this time of year.

Bellebonne 2016 Vintage Rosé, $67.50; available at bellebonne.wine

Alfred Gratien Cuvee Paradis Brut 2008

A true Champagne, if you are loyal to the French OG, then pop this one. Hand-crafted under the watchful eye of a third-generation cellar master, it's full-bodied with an aroma of fresh fruit and walnuts.

De Bortoli King Valley Prosecco NV

Apple and pear with fresh pithy lemon and a gentle creaminess make this bottle of Prosecco really easy to drink. It’s vegan, too, just FYI. And we're not going to lie, we’re really into the bottle - it’s a great gift option.

De Bortoli King Valley Prosecco NV, $20; available at bws.com.au

Louis Roederer Cristal 2008

Ok, this one will cost you a pretty penny, but James Halliday called it “sheer perfection” in his 2018 best wines list so you know it’s money well spent.

Louis Roederer Cristal 2008, $398.99; available at danmurphys.com.au

G.H. Mumm

Mumm Grand Cordon Champagne is the heartbeat of Maison Mumm. Besides the intense and complex flavoured bubbles inside, what makes this iteration of the cuvée unique is the bottle. A reinterpretation of the famous Cordon Rouge red sash, it features a genuine red ribbon indented into the glass for that above-and-beyond splash of luxury.
