Champagne as a corporate gift: budget, bottles and rules — the 2026 guide
The essentials
For a gift set (for clients or staff): a gift set from a prestigious brand costing between €45 and €70 — Perrier-Jouët GreenBox (€51.90), Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel in a gift box (€48.50), Veuve Clicquot Arrow (€65.90), Gosset Grande Réserve (€44.35). For a key client: Barons de Rothschild Blanc de Blancs (€82), Ruinart Duo (€189), Laurent-Perrier Les 3 savoir-faire (€269), Dom Pérignon 2015 in a gift set (€239.90). Tax rules: VAT is recoverable up to €73 (including VAT) per recipient per year. We issue the invoice in the company’s name, include a printed card with your message, and deliver throughout France and Europe.
How much should you spend on champagne as a corporate gift?
Three price tiers: €45 to €70 for a set (clients, partners, staff) including a gift box from a leading champagne house; €80 to €120 for a key client, including a Blanc de Blancs or a house rosé; €190 to €350 for a key partner, including a Ruinart duo, a case of three bottles or a Dom Pérignon in a gift box.
Can you claim a gift of champagne as a tax deduction?
A corporate gift is tax-deductible if it is made in the interests of the business and is reasonable; VAT is recoverable only if the value of the gift does not exceed €73 (including VAT) per recipient per year (threshold in force since 2021). Above this threshold, the gift remains deductible but the VAT is not. Gifts whose total annual value exceeds €3,000 must be included in the statement of overheads. Your accountant will confirm the details of your specific situation.
What champagne should you give to an important client?
A bottle whose name speaks for itself: Barons de Rothschild Blanc de Blancs (€82), Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2014 (€189.80), Ruinart Blanc de Blancs and Rosé duo (€189), Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 in a gift set (€239.90). For a company looking to stand out, a renowned winemaker — such as Egly-Ouriet or Agrapart — makes a greater impression than a brand.
Can a corporate gift of champagne be personalised?
Yes: we include a printed card in every parcel featuring your message and logo. For engraving on wooden crates or marking on bottles, please ask us for a quote.
When should you order your end-of-year gifts?
Before mid-November: gift sets from leading brands are produced in fixed quantities, and limited editions (Veuve Clicquot Arrow, Laurent-Perrier Robe Rubans) sell out first. For orders of more than twenty gift sets, please contact us as early as October to reserve your quantities.
Champagne is the corporate gift that needs no explaining: it evokes celebration, France and thoughtfulness, without ever being in poor taste. However, you still need to choose the right budget, the right bottle and stick to the rules. Here is our 2026 guide: how much to budget per person, the gift sets that are always a hit, gifts that make an impression, the menu, tax implications and delivery.

There is a reason why champagne remains, year after year, the number one corporate gift in France: it’s a safe bet. It evokes celebration and thoughtfulness; it appeals to connoisseurs and reassures those who are less familiar with it; it can be shared and kept for later. But a corporate gift is subject to rules that private gifts are not — a budget per person, a consistent range, an invoice, and tax implications. This 2026 guide goes through them all, featuring the best-selling bottles and gift sets from our cellar, along with their prices.
A successful corporate gift bears your name without being too in-your-face. We include a printed card with your message and logo in every parcel; this is what remains once the bottle is empty, as our article on giving champagne reminds us. For further options – such as engraving on wooden crates or branding – please ask us for a quote. And to stand out from competitors who all offer the same brand, a top winemaker (Egly-Ouriet, Agrapart, Larmandier-Bernier) or an organic champagne makes for a more memorable gift: see our 2026 winemakers and our organic champagnes.
What the tax authorities say
A corporate gift is tax-deductible if it is made in the company’s best interests and is proportionate to its size and the nature of the relationship. VAT is recoverable only if the value of the gift does not exceed €73 (including VAT) per recipient per year — a threshold in force since 2021; above this amount, the gift remains deductible, but not the VAT. Gifts totalling more than €3,000 per year must be included on the statement of overheads. We issue the invoice in the company’s name, with a breakdown per bottle; your accountant will confirm your specific circumstances.
Ordering and delivery
Each bottle is shipped in a reinforced cardboard box designed for champagne, including the gift box, and arrives ready to give. We deliver throughout France and across Europe, and delivery is free on orders of €300 or more. For the festive season, please order before mid-November: gift sets from the leading houses are produced in fixed quantities and limited editions sell out first — our Christmas champagnes set the trend. For orders of more than twenty gift sets, please contact us from October onwards to reserve your quantities. All our bottles are listed in the catalogue, our favourites are featured in our ‘hidden gems’ section, and our ‘champagne gifts for every occasion’ page covers personal gifts.
