Nicolas Feuillatte
Nicolas Feuillatte is the best-selling champagne brand in the drink’s homeland of France, but despite this, it comes in third in the world.

Laurent-Perrier
‘Champagne is one of the elegant extras in life,’ said Charles Dickens, and Laurent-Perrier fits the bill. Founded in 1812 (the same year Dickens was born), the house is iconic. And, interestingly, is also has a low-calorie champagne brand favoured by the fashion crowd including Kate Moss and co.
Taittinger

Pommery
After success in the wool business in 1856, Madame Pommery launched the successful champagne business with the help of Henry Vasiner, a financial advisor, and Adolphe Hubinet a 23-year-old business director.

This well-respected champagne brand is affordable and delicious. Located in Ludes, in the Montagne de Reims National Park, the house has been providing champagne since 1868. Not only have they made it into the top ten bestseller list, but they were also granted the right by the Russian Imperial Family to adopt its coat of arms as the family emblem. The crowned two-headed eagle has thus appeared on every Canard-Duchêne label since the end of the 19th century.
