Not too cold, but not too hot either… the ideal temperature for tasting champagne is of the utmost importance to enjoy your “champagne moment”!
Generally speaking, the ideal temperature for serving Brut champagne as an aperitif is between 6° and 9°C. As it warms up in the glass, champagne is best enjoyed between 8 and 12°C.
Tasting a champagne that’s too cold will have an anaesthetic effect on the taste buds, as the cold limits aromatic perception. Above 12°C, on the other hand, champagne can appear much less lively and the bubbles coarser.
Ideally, the tasting temperature should be adapted to the type of champagne being tasted.
For certain cuvées, such as Vintage champagnes, rosés and cuvées de prestigeThe ideal tasting temperature can be higher to reveal the rich, complex aromas of these champagnes, especially when the cuvée is served with a meal. In this case, champagne should be served between 10° and 12° C, or even 11° and 13°C for certain cuvées wines.
We recommend cooling your champagne in an ice bucket – not only is it more chic, but it doesn’t alter the quality of the wine in any way! Place the bottle in a bucket filled with water and ice. In 20-30 minutes, your champagne will reach the ideal serving temperature. You can also chill your champagne at the bottom of the fridge, lying down, for around 4 hours.
We strongly advise against chilling your champagne in the freezer, as this may completely destroy the aromas… champagne is a sensitive and delicate product, and it’s best to respect this. Likewise, chilling serving glasses in the fridge, or freezing them before pouring in the champagne – by spinning ice cubes or crushed ice, for example – can alter the qualities of the wine.
