Air France onboard champagne

Hey guys,

Hope you're all good. Does anyone know what champagne AF currently serve onboard their flights within Europe in Business Class and in PEY for TATL?

I recently flew with them and I forgot to ask the FAs what they serve. The champagne served was so good I had at least 4 glasses! They also kept offering more which was very nice and proactive of them!


Thank you all

the great thing about AF is they serve many champagnes last week I was serve Telmont and Palmer &Co champagnes in Europe Business class both good IMO. I make a habit of photographing each new champagne onboard 😀

It's been the Paolo Basso-selected Pommery brut royal (blue label) in the lounges and in the air YVR-CDG-BUD/PRG-CDG-YVR last month. Wasn't to my wife's and my tastes. There was something else (as in a full case uncorked) at one of the CDG 2E lounges which similarly wasn't to our taste.

Hoping for something new next month.

Not sure on board, but at the lounge we got a tasty and refreshing Gosset last month 🙂. (This brand was tried for the first time 3 years ago at a colleague wedding). I guess/wouldn't be surprised if AF change and promote new champagne every week or fortnight.

Might be for certain and maybe more-profitable routes. YVR (and Canada in general) being a low yield one.

Oh wow that’s for that information! I didn’t realise that AF serve many champagnes compared to other airlines who stick to the same brand (I’m looking at you AA and BA!- I must say though that the Piper Heidsick from the AA Flagship lounges are so good!). I’m flying with AF again soon and I’m looking forward to it!

Thanks! I don’t think I had it before but if they still have it by the time I fly with them again, I will have a glass or two!

Is it still the case that Champagne is only available after 11am in lounges and in flight?
