Champagne is an invention of the French. No wonder that French stamps still hold the palm to this day. Choosing them, you can not doubt the contents of the bottle for a second.
1. "Louis Roederer" (Louis Roederer), "Laurent Perrier" (Laurent-Perrier) - from 3000 rubles.
2. "Veuve Clicquot", "Moe & Chandon" (Moet & Chandon), "Bolinge" (Bolinger) - from 2500 rubles.
3. Budget French champagne - "Jean-Paul Chenet" (J.P. Chenet) - from 700 rubles.
Italian wines
The Italians have never lagged behind the French in winemaking. Their sparkling wines are distinguished by fruity aftertaste and more affordable prices.
1. Dry sparkling "Prosecco" is closest to the taste of champagne. Cost - from 400 rubles.
2. Wines of the province of Asti - "Martini Asti", "Cinzano Asti", "Asti Mondoro" and others - are sweeter and less strong. Prices - from 500 to 1000 rubles.
3. Sparkling "Lambrusco" can be white, red, pink, dry, semi-dry and semi-sweet, that is, for every taste. From 200 rub. Decent option for a budget celebration.
4. Bosca Anniversary costs only 200 rubles, tastes close to Asti and has become a popular alternative to cheap domestic champagne. But this is an artificially carbonated wine, and it is produced mostly in Russia and Lithuania, and not in the brand's homeland.
domestic wines
If you are not a professional sommelier, you will hardly notice the difference between real French and good domestic champagne.
1. "Abrau-Durso" - wine-legend. "Brut" of the brand "Imperial" and "Dravigny" is practically in no way inferior to French wines. Cost - 300-800 rubles.
2. "Tsimlyanskoye" brand "Onegin" is also considered one of the best. Price - 500-1100 rubles.
3. Crimean wines "New World". The price is about 700 rubles.
4. Worthy of attention wines "Chateau Tamagne" and "Fanagoria". Price from 350 rubles.

How to choose and serve champagne?
Read the label carefully, especially the small print on the back. Wines of the correct technology - "seasoned", "classic", "sparkling". Bottles with the inscriptions "carbonated", "saturated", "effervescent" and "sparkling" are best put in place immediately.
If you choose an inexpensive drink worth up to 400 rubles and want to avoid soreness, give preference to semi-dry or semi-sweet wines. Sugar masks obvious taste deficiencies. And in general, dry wines are not for everyone, even expensive ones.
The sweetness of the drink should also be selected for the menu. Dry drink as an aperitif. Semi-dry is suitable for the main meal, and leave semi-sweet for dessert.
A bottle of champagne must be cooled to 6-8 ° C in a refrigerator or bucket of ice. Before removing the wire, slowly turn the bottle upside down. Pour champagne into crystal clear tall glasses. With new happiness!
According to the strict rules set by the European Union for the control of the name of the product at its place of origin, only drinks produced in a particular French province are entitled to be called "champagne". It is they who carry on their label a sign of their noble pedigree - the letters DOC. All other drinks, even if they accurately copy the blend and production technology, are called "sparkling wines". In some countries they also have their own names. In Catalonia, it is “cava”, in Italy it is “proseco”, in Languedoc it is “blanket”. And these drinks also carry the elite abbreviation DOC. But often the law is not written for manufacturers. And in the old fashioned way, they are called made, more or less according to the technology that Abbé Pérignon invented. Some drinks are a frank burda from waste materials artificially carbonated. But among domestic sparkling wines there are some worthy to be served at the festive table. In this article, we will look at the TOP 10 drinks in the Elite Champagne category.
Veuve Clicquot ("The Widow Clicquot")
As the English say, ladies first. But it is not the courtesy of the gentlemen that compels us to let the lady go first. This drink really deserves to take the first position in the Elite Champagne ranking. Monsieur Clicquot, an unremarkable winemaker, rendered two great services to mankind: he married the young lady Barbe Nicole Ponsardin and died in time to allow the widow to show her abilities.
The lady raised her husband's modest household to unprecedented heights. She invented a method for perfectly cleaning champagne and a bridle on the cork, because the pressure in the bottle is three times higher than in a car tire. In addition, the lady skillfully used natural phenomena for self-promotion. So, in 1811, the inhabitants of the Earth observed a comet. The widow Clicquot immediately sent a ship to Russia (whose troops had recently defeated Napoleon) with a huge shipment of champagne, on the label of which was depicted a tailed star. A gigantic sales market was secured. The whole aristocracy tasted the "wine of the comet", and even Pushkin mentioned champagne in his poems. Now the cheapest products of the Widow Clicquot house cost from two and a half thousand rubles. And the price of some elite bottles is estimated at several tens of thousands of dollars.
Moet & Chandon ("Moet and Chandon")
This company is as old as the "Veuve Clicquot". Who does not know this elite champagne? The photo of a black bow with a gold border, fastened with a round red seal under the neck of the bottle, serves as a standard for the French art of living. Moet and Chandon supplied their champagne to the court of the French king. Louis XV liked it, and Napoleon Bonaparte did not hesitate to pick it up at the wine house himself when he happened to be passing through Champagne. Since the reign of Edward VII, Moët & Chandon have mastered the British market. And now the company is the official supplier of champagne to the court of Elizabeth II. "Moet and Chandon" is not limited to royalty. It is their champagne that is poured into glasses at the presentation of the prestigious award in the Golden Globe cinema. Thanks to large circulations, the company's products are sold at more affordable prices. In Russia, a bottle of "Moet and Chandon" can be bought for two thousand rubles.
Dom Pérignon ("Dom Pérignon")
It's time to talk about the inventor of champagne as such. "House" is not a name, much less a building. Perignon's name was Pierre. Because he was a Benedictine monk, he was respectfully addressed as the clergyman of Dom. Perignon lived in the seventeenth century, and in his spare time from prayer he experimented in his abbey of Ovilliers with young frothy wine. He was the first to think of re-fermenting soft drinks. He kept them in bottles of very thick glass, stoppered with oak cork. Elite champagne of the Ovillier Abbey brand was very quickly appreciated by the French aristocracy. Soon they began to deliver it to the Sun King Louis XIV at Versailles. The firm "Moet and Chandon" bought the vineyards of the abbey. The manufacturer continues to create drinks using the old technology. This brand is called "Dom Perignon". Since the vineyard area is small, this drink automatically increases in price. A bottle of the usual "Dom Perignon" costs from eight thousand rubles. Dom Perignon Oenotheque - the elite brand of the wine house is estimated on the market at twenty-two thousand.
Louis Roederer ("Louis Roederer")
In Russia, this is the most expensive elite champagne. Its name has become known in our country since the reign of Alexander II. And no wonder: "Louis Roederer Crystal" was made in 1876 specifically for the royal court. The word "Cristal" meant not only the maximum purification of the drink. By order of Emperor Alexander II, champagne was supplied in crystal bottles. About sixty percent of all products of the Louis Roederer wine house went to Russia. And now our compatriots have remained true to tradition. Champagne "Louis Roederer Brut Premier" is the most sought after of the French brands. Its average price is four thousand three hundred rubles per bottle. The exclusive drink "Louis Roederer Crystal" is much more highly valued. Its cost varies from ten to thirty-five thousand rubles (depending on the year of harvest).
Piper-Heidsieck ("Piper Heidsieck")
The owners of this wine house promote their products through Hollywood stars. Piper Heidsieck Champagne was Marilyn Monroe's favorite. And at all the Oscars, the products of this house are invariably present. The company's PR managers seem to have discovered a "gold mine". Now the names "Piper Heidsieck" and Hollywood are inseparable. In 1965, the company released a bottle 1.82 meters high, the height of the Oscar winner actor Rex Harrison (for his role in the film "My Fair Lady", played in tandem with Audrey Hepburn). And last year, Christian Lobutin became the designer of the Piper Heidsieck house. This is how elite brut champagne appeared, released in a gift set with a shoe with a crystal heel. This PR move refers us to the fairy tale of Cinderella. But at the same time, it brings to mind the old wedding tradition, when the groom drinks champagne from the bride's shoes. It is not possible to find a gift set in wine boutiques in Russia. But the usual Piper Heidsieck Brut champagne can be found for one and a half thousand rubles.
G.H. Mumm ("Mumm")
The first owner of the company in the eighteenth century adorned the label of his products with the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor. Now the company advertises itself through sports. The slogan of the wine house is "The desire for accomplishments and courage." The firm is a sponsor of many sports competitions and scientific achievements. In 1904, this elite champagne was uncorked by the crew of the Le France ship in Antarctica. They are watered by the winners of the Formula 1 competition. Mumm is the third largest manufacturer in the world in terms of sales. A bottle of champagne from this company costs an average of two and a half thousand rubles.
Krug ("Circle")
Can sparkling wines be aged? Yes, if they are produced in the Krug cellars. This house initially put on the quality of the drink, and not on the volume of sales. The company has only twenty hectares of its own vineyards! The must of the best blend is fermented in small wooden barrels, and then aged in bottles for at least six years. Thanks to this method, champagne has not only a complex, recognizable taste, but also the ability to “age nobly”. Such an elite champagne can be kept in the cellar for at least forty years, in order to profitably sell it later. Why not an investment? For example, at a Hong Kong wine auction in April 2015, a 1928 bottle of Krug fetched $21,200. But the usual champagne of this company costs about twenty thousand rubles.
It is generally considered that drinks of the Prestige Cuvée category should be dry: ultra, extra, still and sauvage brut. But lately, dessert wines have become more and more fashionable. This trend is also reflected in champagne. They began to produce dessert Prosecco and Cava, German sparkling wine Sekt. Then came the sweet Cremant. This is also, but it was produced outside the elite province. Very famous "Krement" from the Jura and Alsace. Perhaps the most delicious sweet "champagne" can be called "spumati" (sparkling wine) from the Italian province of Asti. It is made from one variety of berries - Moscato.
Domestic brands of champagne
The production of sparkling wines in the Russian Empire began in 1799, when Academician Pallas, on his estate near Sudak, produced the first bottles of a drink made according to the champagne method. In 1804, a school was even opened in the Crimea. There they began to conduct experiments on the creation of champagne wines. Prince Lev Golitsyn made a great contribution to winemaking. In 1900, his champagne "New World" received the Grand Prix at the World Exhibition in Paris. Golitsyn worked not only in the Crimea. In 1870, in the royal estate on the banks of the Durso River and Lake Abrau in the Kuban, he, together with French specialists, grew vineyards and equipped a champagne factory. The first batch was released in 1897. But Abrau-Durso and Novy Svet were not the only brands of sparkling wines in Russia. Among the domestic names in the years of the USSR, “Moscow elite champagne” arose and now firmly holds its position.
Is it possible to produce such wine in northern latitudes?
There would be production capacities corresponding to the technological process. In the suburbs there are mushrooms, berries, flowers, but not grapes. But the berries of the Pinot, Riesling, Aligote and Chardonnay varieties are delivered to the capital of Russia from the southern regions. At the MKSHV plant, grapes are turned into a drink called Moscow Elite Champagne: brut, semi-dry and semi-sweet. The amount of sugar in wine is regulated not by the addition of crystals, but exclusively by assemblage. The must is aged for about six months. As a result, a drink of saturated light-straw color is born, with a harmonious taste and an interesting bouquet.
On the eve of the New Year, it's time to talk about a wonderful sparkling drink, without which most Russians simply cannot imagine the chiming clock. Of course, we will not in any way detract from the merits of Veuve Clicquot or Dom Perignon champagne, but we will take into consideration products that the average Russian can afford. Our champagne rating will help you choose the best and tell you what ingredients should be present in it.
New World
This is real champagne, made in the Crimea by the bottle method. The first place in our ranking of champagnes is deservedly given to this brand.
More than a century and a half ago, Prince Golitsin himself had a hand in ensuring that Russian champagne could compete with French. These traditions have survived to the present day.
Champagne is produced from Pinot Noir, Aligote, Chardonnay and Riesling grapes, according to the classical canons, with aging from 9 months to 3 years. All processes are done manually. Champagne "Novosvetskoye", "Pinot Franc" and "Crimean Sparkling" have long been loved by customers for their exquisite taste and rich aroma. And it's cheaper than French.
CJSC Sparkling wines, St. Petersburg
CJSC "Sparkling Wines" St. Petersburg
"Russian champagne" has been produced according to classical technologies for more than 80 years. Raw materials are delivered to them from all over the world, including from the Crimea.
All alcohol complies with GOST standards and is made by three common methods, and an innovative recipe for continuous fermentation in a stream was even sold to the French at one time.
The company produces only 3 types of white sparkling wines: brut, semi-dry and semi-sweet.
The brand "Lev Golitsin" was created in memory of an outstanding winemaker. The fame of the prince was so great that the St. Petersburg brand decided to use his name to create a new brand.
Cricova
Moldovan champagne with an optimal price-quality ratio (from 500 rubles). All products are created by the classical method, the drink is aged in oak barrels and stored in cellars.
In "Soviet champagne" there is little foam, bubbles play in the glass for a long time, the aftertaste is wonderful. And there is also “Muscat”, “Rose”, “De Luxe” - the choice of drinks is quite worthy.
Collection drinks are offered in rock crystal bottles.
Golden Beam
Sevastopol company, one of the oldest on the market, occupying a significant segment of the sparkling wine market. All products are created exclusively from our own grapes, harvested by hand.
To date, the tastes of consumers have changed - semi-sweet champagne occupies most of the produced, and the second half is divided among themselves by brut, semi-dry and dry.
The basic collection is made according to the Sharma method (from 350 rubles). They don’t really bother with the names here, so everything becomes immediately clear from the label - white or nutmeg.
The premium line is monovarietal, aged from 6 to 9 months.
Tsimlyansk wines
Tsimlyansk wines
The Don steppes gave birth to this champagne, which is produced mainly in the tank way. But there are also three brands produced according to the classic champagne recipe - Bouquet of Victory, Onegin and Tsimlyanskoye Sparkling.
Today, the vineyards occupy more than 1,000 hectares used specifically for sparkling wines. At one time it was another Russian response to the French.
The main range: a series of "Soviet champagne", aged for at least 6 months and "Tsimlyanskoye Gold" with a high content of nutmeg.
ABRAU-DURSO
Production is located in the Caucasus, at the same latitudes as the famous Champagne province. Sparkling drink is produced in several ways - bottled and in tanks.
The first involves the classics: aging and infusing the drink in glass containers - the Victor Dravigny and Imperial brands (from 600 rubles). But the tank method produces "Russian Champagne" and "Light", which is with a black label (from 500 rubles).
Phanagoria
These are Taman wines of the brand of the same name, including the "Number Reserve" and "Madame Pompadour" lines. Drinks are easy to drink, pleasant enough, and at a ridiculous price (from 200 rubles).
Brut "Madame Pompadour" for lovers of dry from the habit seems sweetish, but "Fanagoria", which has the best reviews, is produced by secondary fermentation in tanks and aged in bottles.
Asti
Asti is the territory of the same name in Piedmont (Italy), which served as the name for this fragrant champagne. “Asti Martini” is a light and pleasant drink made only from white nutmeg. It has no sugar at all, just the natural sweetness of grapes.
At its core, Asti is a sparkling wine with one stage of fermentation, since the secondary fermentation takes place in steel vats, and not in bottles. That is the only reason why it occupies the penultimate place in our ranking of champagnes.
Nevertheless, the floral-fruity fragrance is liked by all the fair sex without exception. “Cinzano Martini” and “Mondoro” are famous and popular lines.
The price of the product starts from 700 rubles. for a bottle.
Bosca
Inexpensive sparkling wines from an Italian manufacturer. The brand has more than 15 items, but in the vastness of Russia, white and sweet ones, on which “carbonated wine drink” is written, are especially popular. The alcohol content of the Anniversary brand is 7.5% - due to the fact that sugar is replaced by malt. Foaming is moderate, without carbonic acid hitting the nose. Price - from 300 rubles.
Stronger drinks - "Chardonnay", "Red label", "Asti". They are produced according to classical technology, and the price is correspondingly more expensive (from 400 rubles).
There is also a premium segment - Verdi spumante, Classic, Anniversary double and Moscato.
Many people know that genuine wine, called champagne, is produced in the French province of the same name from certain grape varieties using special technologies. However, sparkling wine, produced for several decades, first in the Soviet Union, and then in Russia, is in no way inferior to the original samples. This is confirmed by numerous international awards. Let's try to figure out how to choose the best Russian champagne for a festive banquet, the taste and quality of which is as close as possible to the original.
Original French technology
If we discard those very specific grape varieties - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier - and consider only the technological process of production, we see that the production of original champagne is a very laborious process, for which secondary fermentation in bottles is applicable. The whole process of bottled champagne should take at least three years. It is this exclusive technology of French winemakers that guarantees excellent quality and incomparable taste of champagne.
Production in large tanks
It would be absurd to imagine that in a country as large as ours, directly bottled champagne would not be supplanted by improved technology. The bright minds of the Soviet Union in the middle of the last century discovered and patented first the technology of champagne in large tanks, and then the production of sparkling wine in a continuous tank method. The Soviet (Russian) champagne produced in this way was noted as the best sample, not inferior to the classic counterpart. Moreover, many foreign manufacturers adopted the experience of Soviet know-how.
Abundance of modern manufacturers
In Soviet times, there were no problems with the choice of sparkling wine, because the assortment was very scarce. The plant-monopolist, supplying store shelves for the holidays, was a non-alternative option. And now, given that distilleries are growing like mushrooms after rain, it is not surprising to get confused, even if there are already some most preferred brands. How to choose Russian champagne from the abundance of brands on the shelves and what you need to know before going to the supermarket?
Let's go to the store
From the abundance of bottles presented on the shelves, we immediately reject the options poured into light containers. Why? The dark glass of the bottle does not let light in and prevents the sparkling wine from aging, turning yellow and becoming bitter in taste. For example, we need Russian semi-sweet champagne. We will carefully study the labeling. We know that there must be some sugar in wine. However, the presence of citric acid, alcohol, dyes and flavors will make the drink run out of steam quickly. Well, of course, there can be no talk of any foaminess in this case. In addition, if we do not want a headache in the morning, we reject this option.
Russian Champagne: Authentic Samples
Real domestic samples of sparkling wine necessarily go through a cycle of natural fermentation. Cheaper drinks only go through the process of carbonation with the help of special devices. Reading the markings on the label will also help determine this. We reject the option if we see the inscription "Carbonated" or "Sparkling" wine.
Next, pay attention to the cork of the bottle. Many manufacturers seal the container with a plastic stopper. For example, the taste that a Russian drink with such a cork has will be significantly inferior to the taste of a similar drink contained under a cork. In this case, there is almost no air getting inside the bottle, and the characteristic sour taste will never appear. What can not be said about the blockage of sparkling wine with a plastic stopper.
Additional selection criteria
A rosé sparkling wine, by definition, cannot be considered champagne. Exceptionally, all the above-mentioned grape varieties used for the production of the original drink are white. As a result, such a drink as Russian white, semi-sweet champagne received the greatest popularity among the Russian consumer.
What else should we note? We avoid the capacious inscription "With the addition of flavors." Naturally, every self-respecting producer places his legal address on the label, and also indicates sparkling wine.
Differences in price categories should not confuse the buyer. If he orders a banquet and is not ready to shell out an impressive amount for champagne alone, he only needs to pay close attention to the release date of the drink. For budget options, the shelf life should not exceed 1 year from the date of manufacture. Expensive drinks only get tastier over time, and it’s better not to risk it with mid-priced options.
And the last. Too low price should scare away the buyer. Here you need to estimate the cost price in your mind and immediately draw the appropriate conclusions. We will also say our strong “no” to bottles containing sediment and suspicious substances at the bottom.
Russian champagne: manufacturer reviews
In fact, the preferences of champagne consumers completely coincide with the recognition of professional experts. So, the St. Petersburg manufacturer - the company "Sparkling Wines" - produces the brand "Heritage of Master Lev Golitsyn", which was repeatedly noted at various international competitions and took away gold coins to their homeland. It is worth noting that the company was founded back in 1945.
Also, the Moscow enterprise Kornet, founded during the Great Patriotic War, has an impressive history. The products are also awarded with gold and silver medals, and are highly respected and in demand in the consumer market. If we consider all categories of sparkling wines, according to consumer reviews, Russian brut champagne, white sparkling wine, traditionally containing the least amount of sugar, is considered the most popular. Many experts and connoisseurs of the drink believe that sugar can muffle the true taste of champagne. The Moscow company offers all lovers of the original taste of "Cornet" brut.
Champagne category "economy"
"How? - you ask. - Are there good manufacturers of inexpensive champagne?" It turns out there are. The Beslan company Istok has shown itself well, including among international experts. The southern traditions of wine production came in handy. Inexpensive and high-quality raw materials make the products one of the most popular in their segment. The ratio of relatively low prices and excellent southern quality is very fond of buyers. Istok products also received high awards.
Brands that have passed an independent examination
Some brands of sparkling wines have passed an independent examination.
- Russian champagne "Crimean".
- Semi-dry champagne "Russian gold" of the Togliatti company "Rosinka".
- Vladikavkaz semi-sweet "Wintrest-7".
- Petersburg "Venice of the North".
Choose from the best
Now we have learned a lot about how real sparkling wine is made and which leading companies in the country supply products of excellent quality to the market. We will see a fake and low-quality goods with the naked eye. But how to choose your drink from obviously high-quality products?
So let's look at the sugar content. To do this, you do not need to memorize scorecards or look at familiar letters on the label. We just need to understand that Russian white brut champagne has a minimum amount of sugar, and any sweet or semi-sweet sparkling wine has a maximum amount of sugar. In addition, semi-dry and dry champagne is made exclusively according to the classical technology, but the increased sugar content indicates an accelerated production method.
The final factor in choosing the perfect drink will be a tight cork. The champagne of our dreams will not allow itself plastic on top.
Domestic champagne for connoisseurs and gourmets
In our country, aged sparkling wines are also produced with an aging period of at least 6 months after the completion of the champagne process. For true aesthetes and gourmets, collectible stamps are produced with an aging period of at least three years from the end of the champagne process.
Alkali is the enemy of bubbles
Sometimes people who have bought a quality brand of champagne are surprised at the absence of characteristic bubbles in the glass. They are indignant: is a fake hidden under a well-known brand? In fact, you need to ask a question to the housewives who wash the glasses before serving the festive table. What means do they use to wash their glasses? If any alkaline solution was used when rinsing the dishes, it will not be possible to completely wash it off with plain water. The alkali residues inside the glass can give a chemical reaction, and the bubbles will simply disappear.
Champagne is the most famous sparkling wine in the world, which is sold under the protection of the Champagne AOC appellation and is produced in the Champagne region of France, according to the traditional champagne method. The main grape varieties used to create the drink are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier.
Therefore, Russian champagne does not exist by definition, there is only Russian-made sparkling wine, but for convenience we will use the term "Russian champagne".
