With the holiday season upon us, it’s time to reflect on a very important topic—the best ways to ring in the season and the best sips to accompany them. N Magazine has checked in with some of Nantucket’s experts on the best bottles and bubbles to pop now and for the new year.

THE BOTTLE: Laurent-Perrier Champagne Grande Siècle Grand Cuvée No. 25

FLAVOR PROFILE: Citrus fruits, grilled almonds, brioche

“My favorite bottle for the new year is Grand Siècle, the tête-de-cuvée [top wine] from Champagne Laurent-Perrier. A blend of three prime vintages from nine Grand Cru vineyards, it is somehow both rich and elegant, racy and luxurious, with a silky finish that lingers on and on. The 12-year extended lees aging is longer than most top champagnes and contributes much to the sophistication and complexity. It is not inexpensive at nearly $300, but it delivers beyond many higher-priced champagnes. Grand Siècle is the ultimate celebratory sip in that it pairs beautifully with festive holiday fare such as caviar, oysters, lobster and Nantucket bay scallops—and the metal cage packaging is instant glamour! Enjoy it in a Zalto champagne glass for the ultimate sensory experience.”

THE BOTTLE: Tissot ‘Indigène’ Crémant du Jura

FLAVOR PROFILE: Lemon zest, toasted almonds, brioche

“I’d choose this bubbly beauty from the hills of the Jura over most champagnes this holiday season. It calls for celebration without being pretentious. You can leave your pinky down and gnaw on a turkey leg because this wine calls for the dark meat! Tissot’s wines always show high energy and excitement, and when I drink a wine to celebrate, I want it to be celebrating with me. This one sings in the glass and dances on the palate. This high-elevation alpine wine has a strong acid and mineral backbone to accompany your favorite holiday cheeses and slow roasts, because when paired with a little bit of salty, savory and fatty food, the melon, stone fruit and zesty lemon notes shine.”

THE BOTTLE: Domaine Lingot Martin Bugey-Cerdon Sparkling Gamay Rose

FLAVOR PROFILE: Red berries, baking spice, brown sugar

“It’s an unexpected treat! A darker color in the glass and a little residual sugar, which is not usually my thing, but it works here. Because of the darker color, it’s festive and there’s this acidity that cuts the aforementioned residual sugar, making it loveable for those that like a drier style. It’s an easy crowd pleaser that would pair well with all the light bites and cocktailing that happens during the holidays. In my experience, once someone tries this one, they come back for it again and again. And it doesn’t even have to be the holiday season! Oh, and it’s super affordable—it’s under $25 on the shelf. ”
