Champagne Vinegar
Clovis Reims Champagne Vinegar 1L is a refined French vinegar made using wine from the Champagne region, offering a light, crisp acidity with delicate fruity notes and a clean finish. Produced in Reims, at the heart of one of France’s most famous wine regions, it brings a softer and more elegant sharpness than many everyday white wine vinegars.
Its balanced acidity makes it especially useful in dressings, sauces, marinades, and lighter dishes where you want brightness without overwhelming the other ingredients. At i4C, we regularly use Champagne vinegar in classic vinaigrettes, potato salads, beurre blanc sauces, pickled shallots, and seafood dishes where a fresher, more delicate acidity works beautifully.
The flavour is subtle enough for fine herbs, leafy salads, shellfish, poultry, and creamy sauces, while still adding enough sharpness to cut through richer ingredients. It also works well in quick pickles and modern slaws where a cleaner, lighter finish is preferred over harsher malt or distilled vinegars.
Clovis Reims Champagne Vinegar is a reliable kitchen staple for both classic French cooking and contemporary everyday dishes, bringing a little more finesse to simple ingredients.

What is the difference between Champagne vinegar and white wine vinegar?
Champagne vinegar is generally lighter, smoother, and more delicate than many standard white wine vinegars. It has a cleaner acidity and subtler fruity notes, which makes it particularly suited to refined sauces, seafood dishes, and delicate salad dressings.
Why is Champagne vinegar popular in French cooking?
Champagne vinegar complements ingredients without dominating them, which is why it is commonly used in French cuisine where balance and subtlety are important. It works especially well with butter-based sauces, herbs, seafood, and lightly dressed salads.
Can Champagne vinegar be used for pickling?
Yes. Champagne vinegar is excellent for quick pickling vegetables such as shallots, cucumber, radishes, and fennel because it provides brightness without an overly harsh finish. It creates fresher-tasting pickles that pair particularly well with fish and charcuterie.
