On the rocks - Discover the best Champagnes and sparkling wines to serve with ice!

"Champagne on Ice" are a modern and refreshing twist on traditional champagne, specifically designed to be served with ice. This innovation was introduced to make champagne consumption more accessible and enjoyable during hot summer days. Several Champagne producers, including some of the most prestigious maisons, have developed specific labels designed to be enjoyed this way, such as Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial and Veuve Clicquot Rich.

These Champagnes tend to have a slightly higher sugar dosage to compensate for the dilution caused by the ice, and often have more fruity and lively aromatic profiles. The result is a fresh and thirst-quenching drink, perfect for summer, which nevertheless retains the typical refinement and elegance of champagne.

You can express your creativity with champagne-based cocktails or other sparkling wines, which are an excellent choice. Mixing sparkling wine with fresh fruit juices, liqueurs, or fruit purée can create delicious and refreshing drinks, ideal for hot afternoons. From classic Mimosas and Bellinis to more innovative combinations, these effervescent drinks not only quench your thirst but also add a splash of color and flair to any summer party.
