Many have read that at the moment of discovering Champagne Dom Pérignon exclaimed “Come quickly I am tasting the stars!” This Benedictine monk was considered by many the spiritual father of Champagne and made an important contribution to its production.
When we decide to Gift Champagne it is important to know which Champagne works best for the occasion.

Founded in 1743, Moët & Chandon is one of the most widely-known Champagne houses in the world. This household name is best used at Engagements and celebrations such as Bridal showers and outdoor picnics. It is sophisticated and has starred in movies such as Pretty Woman and The Great Gatsby.

Taittinger is an ideal Champagne for a New Years Eve celebration. This is one of my personal favourites. But not with Oysters.
