Shopping around the bubbles

Over the years, the world of Champagne has created links with artists and chefs to produce objects and culinary specialities which are essential if you wish to appreciate this precious nectar to its fullest extent.

For example, crystal over the years has added refinement and delicacy in order to enhance the wine. Champagne was traditionally drunk from saucer glasses, up until the Roaring Twenties, but today is much more commonly drunk using champagne flutes. Contemporary design, rounded and elegant contours, finesse of the stem...everything is designed to ensure that the bubbles dance elegantly.

A few miles from Bar-sur-Aube, the Royal Champagne Crystal Works continue the tradition of creation first established in 1678.

As for other flavours, what could be more pleasant than nibbling on one of the famous pink Reims biscuits while enjoying a rosé champagne.
This biscuit, which dates back to 1690, has adapted to meet the gastronomic delights of our times. It can be found in recipes such as the fruit charlotte or sorbets. A sweet touch to round off a meal perfectly. Today, Fossier company in Reims continues to produce this biscuit using the same recipe.
