Champagne recs?

[pantsparty]

H is coming home today and I'd like to buy a nice bottle to celebrate his promotion

Not like DOM nice, but maybe $50 range?

We like sweeter champagnes, if that helps.

Veuve is about that price at Costco. About $10-$20 more at wine stores though.

And congrats to your husband!!!

We really like cremant style champagne. It's got, not surprisingly, a really creamy mouth feel. But it's generally around $30-50.

Veuve Cliquot yellow label runs around $45 and it's one of my favorites. It's not notably sweet however, most of the more expensive champagnes won't be on the sweet side.

I've had that before! Very good I think I'll grab a bottle during lunch. Thanks!

That's what St. Germain is for! 

Although I'm sure that's violating some champagne rules when I add it.

YES! My favorite!!!!

Piper or Taittinger. I think Veuve is over rated, good marketing, mediocre champagne.

LOL Of course you do!

[motzie]

Another vote for Veuve.

[Kit]

I like Perrier Jouet.

[wise_rita]

Saint-Hilaire Blanquette de Limoux is a super good, super affordable champagne. My friend bought it by the caseload for her wedding, and it's definitely our go to champis.

veuve clicquot brut

[starlily]

Taittinger

Laurent Perrier rose

Schramsberg blanc de blancs and Domaine Carneros rose are a little less ($30ish), but also really great.

[cabbagecabbage]

I'll add Ruinart and or Henriot. They make my favorite NV champagne.

[pantsparty]

I already bought the champagne (Veuve Clicquot)! But I appreciate all the recs We love to celebrate!

[dapotato]

you already bought it, but schramsberg blanc de blancs and blanc de noirs are so good. but not sweet.
