The best sparkling wines: Champagne, Crémant and exceptional bubbles direct from the producer
Sparkling wines embody celebration and lightness. Whether enjoyed during special occasions or with an everyday meal, sparkling wines have the power to awaken your senses. We offer a curated selection of sparkling wines, carefully chosen from the finest vineyards in France.
How are sparkling wines made?
There are several methods used to produce sparkling wines. Among the most renowned, the traditional method (also known as the Champagne method) involves a second fermentation in the bottle, creating fine bubbles and complex aromas.
The ancestral method is one of the oldest and most natural techniques: the wine undergoes a first fermentation and is bottled before fermentation is complete. This naturally traps carbon dioxide, producing delicate bubbles, lower alcohol levels, and a subtle sweetness.
Finally, the Charmat method, where the second fermentation takes place in tanks, is used to create fruit-forward and accessible sparkling wines.
Iconic sparkling wine appellations
Champagne, produced exclusively in its namesake region using the traditional method, is undoubtedly the most famous sparkling wine in the world.
Other French appellations such as Crémant de Loire, Crémant d’Alsace, and Crémant de Bourgogne are made using the same method and offer excellent value for money.
Wines produced using the ancestral method, such as Blanquette de Limoux or Cerdon du Bugey, offer fresh, fruity and approachable profiles, perfect for discovering natural sparkling wines.
Which sparkling wine should you choose?
Sparkling wines come in several styles, each with its own character. Choosing the right bottle depends on the occasion, your budget, and your taste preferences:
- Champagne – finesse, complexity and prestige, ideal for special occasions and gifts
- Crémant – traditional method, excellent value for money for aperitifs and everyday meals
- Natural sparkling wine (pét-nat) – natural, fruity and lightly sparkling, highly appreciated by organic and natural wine lovers
- Blanquette de Limoux / Cerdon du Bugey – ancestral method, delicate bubbles and natural sweetness
Best food pairings with sparkling wines
Champagnes and Crémants pair perfectly with seafood, oysters, sushi, and poultry dishes.

Rosé Champagne pairs beautifully with fresh strawberries, red fruit desserts or dark chocolate. For aperitifs, a natural sparkling wine is a festive and accessible choice.

Frequently asked questions about sparkling wines
What is the difference between Champagne and Crémant?

Pét-nat is made using the ancestral method, where the wine is bottled before fermentation is complete. This creates natural bubbles without additives. The result is a fresh, lively wine with delicate bubbles and lower alcohol content.

Crémant wines offer freshness and value, while Champagne is perfect for special occasions. Natural sparkling wines provide a trendy and original alternative for aperitifs.
