Champagne – a sparkling wine known as the ‘Drink of Kings’ is synonymous with elegance, glamour and luxury. With its intricate citrus, fruity, and toasty notes complemented by a velvety mouthfeel and zesty bubbles, there are no reasons not to love Champagne.

Today, beyond being served in celebrations, the versatility of Champagnes has turned them into an everyday staple, especially for brands like Bottega and Moët & Chandon, favoured by the younger crowds in Singapore. Thinking of buying a Champagne to complement your chips on a Saturday movie marathon? Start by exploring your options!

Understanding the Different Types of Champagne

Champagne comes in various styles, including Brut, Extra Brut, Demi-Sec, and Rosé. Brut is the most common, known for its dryness, while Extra Brut is even drier. Demi-Sec is sweeter, making it ideal for desserts, while Rosé has a pink hue and fruity notes. These variations cater to different preferences and occasions. 

For a virgin Champagne experience, start with a bottle of brut, such as the refreshing Moet & Chandon Rosé Impérial or delicate Impérial Brut Mini. For rich toasted notes, try the Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Champagne

How should I open a bottle of Champagne?

Opening a bottle of Champagne requires caution. First, chill the bottle properly. Then, remove the foil and untwist the wire cage. Keep your hand on top of the cork while gently twisting the bottle's base. With controlled force, let the cork ease out with a soft sigh rather than a loud pop. This method prevents spillage and maintains the Champagne's effervescence.

What is the ideal serving temperature for Champagne?

Brut Champagnes are best served as an aperitif between 6°C and 9°C or enjoyed between 8°C and 12°C as it warms in the glass. For vintage, rosé, and prestige cuvées, 10°C to 12°C is ideal for revealing their aroma, especially when served with meals at events like a Christmas party.

How should I store an open bottle of Champagne?

To prolong your Champagne’s shelf life, store it in a wine fridge, which you can shop from iShopChangi’s selection of wine accessories. It's also essential to keep your Champagne away from light and vibration, which can alter the temperature and chemical composition to affect its aroma, flavour, and ageing potential.
