Bubbles bucket

This champagne cooler belongs to the world of Delamotte, the house in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. It keeps bottles at temperature for as long as the glasses are not empty. Its shape is a particular feature of the house: it takes not only the standard bottle but also half bottles. That is rare and practical if you serve small formats.

For a good result, fill the cooler with ice and cold water, because the mixture chills faster and more evenly than ice alone. The champagne reaches the right drinking temperature in a short time. The bucket belongs on the table, at a celebration just as much as for an aperitif on the terrace, and it makes a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys serving champagne.
