2016 Best Champagne/Wine and Caviar Pairings Announcement from Lady Elena Caviar

Throughout 2016, Lady Elena Caviar has tasted a few hundred champagnes and wines with our caviar. We do not say the champagne or wine and our caviar pair unless we have tasted the two together.

Champagne is the thought many people have when there is the mention of caviar. Lady Elena Caviar is about caviar for your lifestyle. There is a caviar for your budget among our 9 varieties. With this in mind, we look for champagnes and wines from all price ranges that pair with our caviar. Please note that champagne is a wine.

Our tasting throughout the year has been by the individual bottle, by the producer line, by a selection of wines by a country or by a wine producing region. Since wine and champagne prices can have such a wide range from the seller, we are not including any retail prices for them.

Every caviar variety has its own flavor profile and every wine has its own flavor profile. Our selected winners are those wines where the pairing had special enjoyable characteristics to it that made it stand out from the rest.

For 2016, we have 5 of the best champagne /wine and caviar pairings that we want to bring to your attention. We will be releasing them over the next few days.

If you have a champagne or wine that you would like to be included for our 2017 tastings let us know at CS@LadyElenaCaviar.com
