Champagne

Champagne is produced from specific types of grapes grown in the Champagne region following rules that demand, among other things, specific vineyard practices, sourcing of grapes exclusively from designated places within the Champagne region.

The grapes Pinot Nior, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay are primarily used to produce almost all Champagne, but small amounts of other grape varietals are vinified as well. Only these specific grapes grown according to appellation rules on designated plots of land within the appellation may be used to make Champagne.
