When an occasion calls for Champagne it's important to avoid substitutions and to uncork something worth savoring. No Champagne is as recognized or as eagerly toasted as Veuve Clicquot. A blend of mostly Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, with close to a third of Chardonnay, this iconic Champagne boasts fresh aromas of quince and baked apple along with lively citrus flavors and a silken texture that invites another sip. This crowd-pleasing bubbly is easily enjoyed on its own and shines when paired with savory delicacies such as caviar or smoked salmon rosettes.

Wine Spectator
There's plenty of finesse in this smooth-textured Champagne, whose flavors evoke apricot, peach, vanilla pastry and mineral. Racy, with snappy acidity providing energy and driving the flavors to a long conclusion. Drink now through 2012. —Bruce Sanderson,
