Five Champagnes I buy again and again — and the prices I'd feel good paying.
These aren't necessarily the most famous bottles. They're bottles that have earned my trust.
Buy below $60
Fresh, balanced, and one of the best values from any large Champagne house.
Buy below $65
Bright, focused, and quietly confident. A bottle that rewards attention.
Buy below $65
Rich without feeling heavy. Toast, roasted nuts, and plenty of depth.
Buy below $65
Clean, balanced, and consistently excellent. One of the safest bottles to recommend.
Buy below $60
Bright citrus, chalk, and real energy. If you've never tried grower Champagne, start here.
These aren't exact market prices. They're the prices I'd feel good paying.
