Champagne

Certainly one of the most famous names in the world, if not the best known, the only one to be able to use the name of champagne, the product label ready for 250 million bottles each year.

Champagne is a French PDO-AOC grown on 4 defined geographical areas: the Côte des Blancs, the Côte des Bars, the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne. Three main grape varieties are cultivated: pinot noir and sucker, two varieties with black grapes and a white grape variety, Chardonnay. These different grape varieties are grown on so special and adapted soils of the Champagne region, made up of clay chalk and limestone.The autumnal time of the champagne just allows to reach the ideal temperature for the perfect maturation of the grape. The manufacturing process is traditional and specific to champagne wines. What is very specific in the champagne region is the number of specification and extremely stringent rules to respect.

The area is strictly limited, only certain varieties of grape varieties are allowed, the yield in terms of the number of grapes per hectare and the types and times of fermentation. And these rigorous rules are constantly optimized in order to preserve and always increase the quality of champagne wines. The manufacturing process uses 2 different phases, the first is a classic vinification, is the second is a fermentation called also foam. This last will give its sparkling to the champagne as well as its aromas. The last step and the assembly of the wine with the € shipping scoop, a mixture of cane sugar concentrate and old wines that will eventually give champagne all its qualities.

The Champenois blend is the result of a unique combination of terroirs, grape varieties and years. Whether Brut, Blanc de Blanc, that is to say assembled only from white grapes or rosé, vintage (taking all the characteristics of a vintage in the image of other wines), each Champagne carries a signature which creates an affinity year after year with the consumer.
