Champagne

Enjoy a bottle of bubbly for a special celebration with our selection of premium champagne. You'll find offerings from some of the region's historic Maisons right here. The very first bottle is thought to have had its cork popped as early as 1697, when the sparkling wine-making process happened more by accident than design. Vineyards now employ modern techniques and the latest technology to get the most out of every grape. Even today, in order to earn its name, the grapes for this exclusive tipple must be grown in the Champagne region of northern France, where relatively cool temperatures mean the vines produce the best possiblefruits. Did you know that champagne is fermented twice to create the required concentration of delicate fizz? At Selfridges, our champagne cellar is stocked with wines crafted using the initial makers' traditional methods, combined with innovative techniques, such as those used to grow and process organically at scale.  Big birthday event? Champagne gifts start the party with a pop. Why not select an aged cuvée to celebrate an anniversary? Pick a rosé for a fruity flavour with notes of strawberry and peach - or a dry white offering hints of citrus and fig. Lots of guests? Opt for a magnum-sized bottle so that everyone can have a sip or two.
