Four (4) bottles of Veuve-Cucquot Champagne. From one of the most prestigious champagne houses, this Brut is the gold standard for non-vintage champagne year in and year out. Deliciously rich on the nose and palate, with almond croissant and suggestions of Calvados in the aroma and flavor. A fuller-bodied style, creamy and round, with a long, lingering nutty finish. The best champagne in a recent tasting. Simply superb! (90 points). Two (2) bottles of Demoiselle Champagne. From the renowned French champagne house, Vranken. Unlike most champagnes, it's made with 80% chardonnay, giving it a more subtle, feminine character. It comes in a beautiful Lalique designed bottle. After you appreciate the beauty of the packaging, the first thing you notice about Demoiselle is the subtle aroma, and green and citrus flavors of this tasty champagne. While the fruity, full flavor is noticeable, the champagne retains its dry character. It's not a drink to be tossed down during a toast, but rather savored as an apertif. Named for the dragonflies on the river near the Chateau in France, this affordable bottle will be a welcomed gift for your hostess.
