The best Champagnes that you want to pop
When it comes to superstar champagnes, this blinged out bubbly is the
clear winner; a hip-hop heavy hitter that stunned everyone.
Armand de Brignac
Armand de Brignac
The Armand de Brignac, or 'the ace of spades' as it is now popularly known thanks to the eye-catching image on its label, made its entry into the world of rarified spirits in a somewhat unusual manner. There was no word out about of it until the ostentatious, shiny bottle was spotted in a video by rapper JayZ' in 2006.Two days after this appearance, this now-iconic bottle was all over the media. Today, in just five short years, this bottle has risen up the ranks and overtaken Dom Perignon and Krug as the undisputed heavyweight champions. As befits a champagne like this one, the Armand created shelf space for itself by becoming synonymous with wealth, status and high society. The champagne is, of course, of unmatched quality, and each bottle is specially hand-packaged in limited quantities. Owned by the New Yorkbased Sovereign Brands in partnership with Cattier, this boutique production has certainly made its mark. So the next time you're toasting something special, this is definitely the bubbly you want to pop!

Piper heidsieck
With six different champagnes, Heidsieck churns out high volumes but keeps the quality top notch. Drawing on over 200 years of wine-making heritage, the brand has consistently raised the bar. Last year, the champagne house entered into a partnership with The Wine Society of India,which means that it is now easily available here. With primary notes of citrus and pear, each blend is aged for a minimum of 24 months--the results speak for themselves!

Dom Perignon Rose

Displaying an intense mix of tropical and citrus flavours, this vintage champagne uses only the best quality of grapes and is highly sought after owing to its limited production.This is, lest we forget, the same bubbly that touched a record price of $84,700 at a historic champagne auction in New York in 2009. Raise a toat to this bubbly!
