Champagne Pairing: The Art of Luxury Food & Champagne Combinations 🥂
Champagne is far more than a celebratory aperitif. Thanks to its freshness, finesse, and remarkable versatility, champagne is one of the most refined wines to pair with food. At Vinini, we believe that every cuvée tells a gastronomic story—one that unfolds beautifully at the table.
Discover our carefully curated champagne pairings, designed to elevate fine dining and transform every moment into a luxurious experience.
Grande Réserve – Round, Fresh and Harmonious
The freshness of the Grande Réserve pairs perfectly with puff pastry filled with mimolette and sesame. Its round aromas harmoniously enhance the golden, crispy crust of Milanese-style cutlets.

Brut Premier Cru – Freshness and Finesse

Extra Brut Premier Cru – Lively and Mineral
Lively and mineral in style, the Extra Brut Premier Cru enhances the creaminess of smoked salmon and elegantly accompanies poultry dishes prepared with white wine and thyme.
