Singapore Airlines is adding five premium Champagnes to its first class menu in a program dubbed “A Celebration of Champagne”.
Over a 10-month period lasting until April 2024, one of each of the five premium labels will join the airline’s cellars in the sky on a rotating basis, with each one available for a two-month period.
First up and already being poured onboard is a Vilmart Grand Cellier d’Or 2018 ‘Grower Champagne’ with notes of black cherries, blood orange, Chinese aniseed.
Grower Champagnes are made and bottled by the same person who grows the grapes in a single vineyard rather than being mass-produced.
The full line-up of the five Champagnes and the months they are being served:
*2018 Grand Cellier d’Or by Vilmart in June and July 2023
*2016 Cuvee Volupte, Blanc de Blancs Vintage by Champagne Geoffroy in August and September 2023
*2018, Multi-Vintage (MV) by Champagne Henri Giraud in October and November 2023
*Blanc des Millenaires by Charles Heidsieck in December 2023 and January 2024
*Extra Brut ‘VP’ Grand Cru by Champagne Egly-Ouriet in February and March 2024
Those hoping to try the limited-release Champagnes should ask for them as soon as they step onboard, as Singapore Airlines generally sets aside 12 bottles for the first class cabin.
Singapore Airlines has repeatedly be named Best Cellar in the Sky by Business Travellers magazine, more than 2.1 million bottles of wine and Champagne are popped onboard each year, including Krug and Taittinger for guests travelling in first class.
The airline used to served Dom Perignon as well, but the label is now an Emirates exclusive until at least 2024.
