Champagne is the ultimate festive drink, but how do you serve it properly? Here are our tips:
First, the temperature, ideally between 8°C and 12°C. Then, open the cork gently, avoiding popping it and causing the wine to bubble. Then, choose the glass: ideally a white wine glass or flute, washed with pure, hot water and dried with a clean cloth (definitely no dish soap, which would create very coarse bubbles).
How to serve: tilted or upright glass? It doesn't matter, but the pouring must always be done delicately to maintain a beautiful effervescence.
At Champagne Pierrel, we serve the drink in two times : the first with a very small amount of Champagne so that the foam settles at the bottom of the glass, and the second, taking advantage of this small layer of bubbles to pour the beverage smoothly. An unbeatable technique! You probably have other questions, and here are our answers in the following links:
