Champagne and Brunch – The Most Underrated Pairing

Champagne and Brunch –
The Most Underrated Pairing

If champagne has a natural home, it might be brunch.

And yet, most people limit themselves to mimosas.

That’s a waste of good champagne.

Let’s rethink it.

Brunch is one of the most diverse meals we eat.

• Eggs
• Pastries
• Smoked salmon
• Fruit
• Bacon
• Avocado
• Coffee still on the table

It’s chaos. In the best way.

Champagne handles that chaos better than anything else.

The acidity cuts through fat. The bubbles reset your palate. The range of styles means you can match almost anything on the table.

Here’s how Pops approaches it.

Start with a brut. Clean, versatile, gets everyone going.

Move to Blanc de Blancs if the table leans lighter. Eggs, seafood, fresh fruit.

Bring in a rosé if there’s bacon, sausage, or anything with real weight.

And if you really want to do it right, skip the orange juice entirely.

If someone insists, pour it on the side. Let them make their own decisions.

But give the champagne a chance on its own first.

Because once people taste it that way, they rarely go back.

Brunch doesn’t need to be casual.

It can be one of the best meals of the week.

You just have to pour accordingly.
