What Pairs With Champagne?

What Pairs With Champagne?

Sometimes, all we really want is a snack and a crisp glass of Champagne. The script is always fancy on fancy, but the secret is that Champagne can pair with the most simplest of foods, and taste absolutely delicious. Although we would never turn down caviar, we're here to break down a few simple bites that complement Champagne perfectly.

Multi‑Vintage Brut

Our Multi‑Vintage Brut is the definition of timeless Champagne — expressive, generous, and crafted for both everyday enjoyment and celebratory moments.

This Brut showcases delicate red fruit aromas from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, layered with notes of lemon custard and fresh pastry dough. On the palate, the wine is full‑bodied and complex, driven by a bright beam of acidity that brings energy and lift. The finish is uniquely sweet‑sour, offering remarkable length and texture for a multi‑vintage Champagne.

Because it draws from multiple exceptional harvests, this wine reflects the house style with consistency and precision, while still offering depth and character. Its balance of freshness, richness, and texture makes it incredibly versatile — equally at home at brunch, cocktail hour, or a casual night in.

Perfect pairings:

  • Popcorn (especially buttered)

  • Salty Potato chips

  • Roasted nuts

  • Prosciutto

  • Soft cheese

Think salty and buttery, and simple bites that carry fat. These bites certainly highlight the Brut’s acidity and fine mousse, while the pastry‑driven notes amplify its comforting, approachable charm.


2013 Vintage Brut

A Vintage Brut tells a very different — and more singular — story.

The foundation of our 2013 Vintage Brut is Chardonnay, lending the wine its signature freshness, finesse, and elegance. After more than a decade of aging, the aromas have evolved into something deeply complex and inviting, with notes of crème brûlée, marzipan, toasted brioche, and a subtle hint of celery salt.

On the palate, the wine is full, rich, and beautifully developed, yet it retains a vibrant acidity that keeps everything lifted and precise. The finish is seamless and refined, showcasing the harmony that only time and exceptional fruit can deliver.

Produced exclusively from grapes harvested in a single outstanding year, this Champagne captures a moment in time — a true expression of vintage character, craftsmanship, and patience.

Perfect pairings:

  • Buttered toast

  • Oysters

  • French fries

  • Mushrooms

  • Fried potatoes

Here, starch and fat soften the wine’s structure and highlight its toasty, layered complexity, allowing the elegance of the 2013 to fully shine.

Multi‑Vintage vs. Vintage Brut: What’s the Difference?

While both Champagnes are crisp, beautifully balanced, and unmistakably Michel Foch, they offer distinct experiences.

Multi‑Vintage Brut

  • A blend of multiple exceptional vintages

  • Pinot‑driven, with red fruit, lemon custard, and pastry notes

  • Crafted for consistency, texture, and approachability

  • Bright acidity with a sweet‑sour finish and impressive length

  • Perfect for any occasion — casual or celebratory

Vintage Brut (2013)

  • Made from a single standout year

  • Chardonnay‑led, emphasizing elegance and finesse

  • Aromas of crème brûlée, marzipan, toasted brioche, and savory nuance

  • Rich, developed palate balanced by lively acidity

  • A more contemplative Champagne, ideal for special moments

Both wines celebrate balance and craftsmanship — one through the art of blending, the other through the singular expression of an extraordinary year.


The Takeaway

You don’t need caviar or a tasting menu to enjoy Champagne at its best. Sometimes, all it takes is a bowl of buttery popcorn, a plate of greasy French fries, or a slice of buttered toast — it's the little things in life!

Salt. Starch. Fat.

That’s the secret — and the beauty — of Champagne.

Whether you’re pouring the Michel Foch Multi‑Vintage Brut or savoring the depth of our 2013 Vintage Brut, these simple pairings allow the wine to truly shine.
