Not all champagnes are created equal—these four bottles are among the best values in their respective classes
Champagne will cost you. Here, four bottles worth the cash.
1/4Party Starter
Taut, racy, and light on its feet. Great as an aperitif. Lanson NV “Black Label” Brut Champagne ($35)
2/4Food-Friendly
A little more brioche toastiness and apple-y fruit here; a terrific dinner wine. Chartogne-Taillet Cuvée Sainte-Anne Brut Champagne ($40)
3/4Wine Geek Approved
Deeper still, with dark fruit tones and a mineral bite. Roger Coulon NV Grande Tradition Premier Cru Brut Champagne ($49)
4/4Baller Status
A small-production, vintage-dated powerhouse that will age for decades. Pol Roger 2000 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Brut Champagne ($250)
