Top 10 champagnes (and sparkling wines) for New Years

By Erica Landin

There is no better beverage at New Years Eve than champagne. (Actually, I might claim there is no better beverage at any time of the year). The real stuff, from Champagne, France. Here are a few favorites that won't only get your juices flowing pre-dinner, but that can also handle a bit of food. Believe it or not, champagne is an excellent food wine! I have also thrown in a few good sparkling wines to pop at midnight. Because, let's be honest here, at that point there aren't many of us who can still tell (or care about) the difference...

Presented in a rough order from simpler bubblies to ultimate luxury.

Happy New Years!

4. Pierre Peters Cuvee de Reserve Brut (NV)

« Prev Next » 4 of 10

Average price: $46.⁰⁰ from 1 store

Rodolphe Peters, Pierre's grandson, is doing a great job with this little grower house in Le Mesnil (where Krug has their prime holdings). Great chardonnay territory. I'd go for the Magnum which holds declassified vintage wine without the increase in price. It's an insider tip among wine writers. His Cuvée les Chetillons is a fantastic cuvee in a slightly higher price category.
