Cannes is synonymous with excitement, elegance and celebration. Whether it's the steps of the Palais, a reception on a yacht or a private party in a villa in the hills, champagne remains the common thread running through these exceptional moments. However, each event has its own atmosphere and requires a specific cuv\u00e9e to make a lasting impression.<\/p>\n
Since 1862,\u00a01862 Wines & Spirits<\/strong> assists organisers and individuals in selecting the perfect bubbles, providing a bespoke service in the heart of Cannes. Here is our guide to choosing the right champagne for your event.<\/p>\n At the Cannes Film Festival or major charity galas, image is paramount. The champagne served must reflect the glamour of the red carpet and the sophistication of the French Riviera. This is the time to bring out the\u00a0Prestige Vintages<\/strong>\u00a0and rare vintages.<\/p>\n For occasions when appearance is as important as taste, we recommend choosing\u00a0large formats<\/strong>. Magnum (1.5L) and Jeroboam (3L) bottles are not only spectacular, they also offer better wine preservation and superior tasting quality.<\/p>\n A wedding in Cannes, whether celebrated by the sea or on an estate, calls for a champagne that will appeal to all guests, from the aperitif to the wedding cake. The aim is to find the perfect balance between finesse and conviviality.<\/p>\n The ideal choice is often a\u00a0Blanc de Blancs<\/strong>\u00a0(100% Chardonnay). This type of champagne offers floral freshness, liveliness and elegance that are universally appreciated. It is light enough to be drunk at the start of the evening without weighing down the palate, while still having enough character to accompany a meal.<\/p>\n For the organisation of these large gatherings, our service\u00a0private tastings and events<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0enables future newlyweds to confirm their choice in advance, with the assistance of our sommeliers.<\/p>\n At a conference at the Palais des Festivals or a corporate cocktail party, champagne plays a role as a social facilitator. It must be of impeccable quality to enhance the company's image, without being too complex or divisive.<\/p>\n The wisest choice remains an excellent one.\u00a0Brut without vintage<\/strong> (BSA) from a large producer or a renowned independent winemaker. Here, we look for consistency, structure and freshness. For corporate gifts<\/a><\/strong>, elegant gift boxes containing a brut cuv\u00e9e are always appreciated.<\/p>\n Birthdays celebrated in Cannes villas, often around the pool or watching the sunset, call for a more relaxed and festive atmosphere. It's the ideal playground for the\u00a0Ros\u00e9 Champagne<\/strong>. With its attractive colour and red fruit aromas, ros\u00e9 wine embodies summer and celebration.<\/p>\n1.
