Best Champagne Pairings: What to Serve With Champagne

Champagne is one of the most food-friendly wines you can put on the table. High acidity, fine bubbles, and balance make it easy to pair with everything from casual comfort food to refined dishes.

If you’re looking for the best Champagne pairings, here’s how different Champagne styles work with food — with specific bottles available at 305 Wines.

Champagne Brut: The Most Versatile Style

Brut Champagne is dry, fresh, and structured, making it the easiest style to pair with food. The acidity cuts through richness while the bubbles refresh the palate.

Best pairings:

  • Fish and chips with tartar sauce

  • Burgers and fries

  • Fried appetizers

  • Sautéed mushrooms

Blanc de Blancs Champagne: Fresh and Mineral

Blanc de Blancs Champagne is made entirely from Chardonnay. These wines are known for high acidity, precision, and mineral character, which makes them ideal with lighter and vegetable-driven dishes.

Best pairings:

  • Grilled green asparagus with Parmesan

  • Mushroom risotto

  • Vegetable lasagne

  • Fresh pasta with truffles

Blanc de Noirs Champagne: More Body and Savory Depth

Best pairings:

  • Scallop tartare with citrus

  • Stuffed poultry

  • Mushroom-forward dishes

Best pairings:

  • Fine charcuterie

  • Pumpkin or squash soups

  • Roasted vegetables

  • Savory appetizer platters

Vintage Champagne: Built for the Table

Vintage Champagne shows more concentration and complexity, allowing it to pair with refined dishes and special meals.

Best pairings:

  • Grilled salmon with seasonal vegetables

  • Lobster with fresh herbs

  • Dishes with layered flavors and texture

Sweet Styles: When the Dish Has Sweetness

Champagnes with a touch of sweetness work best when the dish includes sweet or sweet-savory elements.

Best pairings:

  • Roasted figs with honey and goat cheese

  • Sweet-savory appetizers

  • Caramelized vegetables

The key is balance: the wine should be at least as sweet as the dish.
