itemprop=\"description\"><p>Champagne is a prestigious sparkling wine produced exclusively in the Champagne region of northeastern France using \u201cm\u00e9thode champenoise\u201d (Champagne method). Protected by the AOC law. ABV:12-12.5%. The main grapes are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>Champagne is a French sparkling wine made exclusively in the Champagne region of northeastern France using the famous \u201cm\u00e9thode champenoise\u201d, which involves a second fermentation in the bottle. Champagne is protected by AOC laws and only wines produced in the Champagne region can carry the name. Its primary grapes are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. ABV: 12 &#8211; 12.5%.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 100% French product, most of the stages involved in producing Champagne, from vine pruning to harvesting, are carried out by hand, as specified by strict AOC regulations (Appellation d&#8217;Origine Contr\u00f4l\u00e9e). Vineyard practices like careful desuckering to remove non fruitful shoots, lifting creepers and limiting maximum yields are designed to create the exquisite Champagne we all enjoy today!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-is-champagne-made\">How is Champagne made<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Champagne grapes<\/strong> ( Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier)are first vinified into a highly acidic still wine by pressing and fermentation. After the first fermentation, the base wine undergoes the following processes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Blending or assemblage<\/strong>: where the \u201c<em>chef de cave\u201d <\/em>(cellar master) combines wines from different vintages to achieve a unique final blend. This step does not happen in crafting vintage Champagnes.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The next step is <strong>bottle fermentation<\/strong>, the backbone of Champagne production. A mixture of sugar and yeast is added to the wine before bottling, causing carbon dioxide (CO2) to form and create bubbles (or <em>prise de mousse<\/em>).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Champagne <strong>ages on lees <\/strong>for a period of time, depending on the type of Champagne being made. Non vintage Champagne is left for at least 15 months, while vintage Champagne must be in contact for at least 3 years for added complexity and toast notes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Riddling (<\/strong><em>remuage<\/em>) involves manually or mechanically manipulating the bottles to collect the yeast cells and sediment at the neck. Manually, Champagne bottles are rotated and shaken every few days until they are vertical and the yeast cells have settled towards the neck.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In <strong>disgorgement, <\/strong>winemakers use an ice cold solution to chill the neck of each bottle until the yeast cells are frozen. Then, they remove the cap. Internal pressure that has built up during secondary fermentation expels the spent yeast cells, leaving clear wine.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dosage <\/strong>involves using a small amount of wine that may or may not be mixed with sugar to top up the contents of the bottle. The purpose of this addition is to adjust sweetness levels and replace whatever wine was lost in the previous step.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"what-are-the-types-of-champagne\"><\/div><h2 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-855f7de\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-855f7de \">What are the types of Champagne?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three types of Champagne depending on the grape varieties used in winemaking:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Blanc de Blancs (<\/strong>white of whites) is made from 100% white grapes, most commonly Chardonnay. Other white wine grapes that may be used are Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Petite Meslier or Arbane.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ros\u00e9 Champagne <\/strong>is created by blending white wine with tiny bits of Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier. It is generally fruitier than Blanc de Blancs, with occasional hints of spices and herbs.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blanc de Noirs <\/strong>(white of blacks) is made from 100% black grapes, usually Pinot Noir and\/or Pinot Meunier. There is minimal contact between grape skins and wine during vinification, giving the wines a more yellow colour.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on sweetness levels, Champagne is classified as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Brut Nature<\/strong>, with <strong>less than 3g\/L<\/strong> of residual sugar.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra Brut<\/strong> is very dry, with <strong>3-6g\/L<\/strong> of residual sugar.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brut Champagne <\/strong>is the most popular style at <strong>6-12g\/L<\/strong> sweetness levels.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra Dry,<\/strong> also known as <strong>Extra Sec, <\/strong>contains between <strong>12-17g\/L <\/strong>of residual sugar.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dry <\/strong>or <strong>Sec <\/strong>or <strong>Seco <\/strong>is significantly sweeter than Brut, with about <strong>17-32g\/L<\/strong> of sugar.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Demi Sec <\/strong>Champagne contains <strong>32-50g\/L<\/strong> residual sugar.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Doux <\/strong>is the sweetest Champagne of all, with <strong>more than 50g\/L<\/strong> residual sugar.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Champagne falls in three categories, depending on ageing style:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Non Vintage (NV) <\/strong>is the most common Champagne style, designed for consistency. It blends wines from multiple harvests and it is aged for a minimum of 15 months (with 12 months spent on lees) before release.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vintage Champagne <\/strong>is produced only in exceptional years, using grapes from a single harvest. Also called <strong>Mill\u00e9sim\u00e9<\/strong>, it must be aged for a minimum of 3 years on lees.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prestige Cuv\u00e9e <\/strong>represents the pinnacle offering from a house, made from grand cru grapes and aged significantly longer (5 to 8 years). These are the most expensive, highly collectable Champagne bottles with intense, complex flavours absent in regular bottles.

Proper storage is essential for preserving its effervescence and delicate flavours, which contribute to an enjoyable tasting experience. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are our tips to store and serve Champagne properly: \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Store bottles in a consistently <strong>cool and dark place<\/strong> with no vibrations.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep Champagne bottles <strong>lying horizontally<\/strong> so that the corks stay moist and air does not enter the wine.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aim for a <strong>serving temperature<\/strong> between 8\u00b0C and 10\u00b0C.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour Champagne into a <strong>tulip wine glass<\/strong>, a flute, or a coupe of your choice and savour your bubbly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Pro Tip<\/em><\/strong>: We recommend preserving Champagne in a wine cellar or wine fridge, not in a regular kitchen fridge. It is too cold and dry for long term storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-food-pairs-well-with-champagne\">What food pairs well with Champagne?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>French Champagne pairs well with salty, fried or savoury food due to its high acidity and palate cleansing bubbles. Brut Champagne is the most versatile and it can be enjoyed with anything from aged cheddar to a Thai chicken curry. Demi Sec styles complement desserts, fruit cakes and other sweet dishes. Hosting a dinner?

The most common style is Brut, which is dry with a hint of sweetness. Extra Brut is drier, while Sec and Demi Sec are noticeably sweeter.
