Champagne is a sparkling wine produced exclusively in the Champagne region of France. Champagne production is a complex process involving several crucial stages. First of all, Champagne growers cultivate three types of grape: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. These grapes are hand-picked and carefully sorted to keep only the best. The grapes are then pressed to extract the juice. The juice from the first press, called “cuvée”, is considered the best and is reserved for the production of high-quality champagne. The final blend, known as a “assemblage”, is created from different tank wines to obtain the optimum taste. The champagne is then bottled with a small amount of sugar and yeast for secondary fermentation. Aging is an important stage in champagne production. Champagne must be aged in the bottle for at least 15 months before being sold. Our best champagnes can age for several years in our cellars. Finally, disgorging is the process of removing yeast sediment from the bottle. The cork is removed from the bottle and the champagne is quickly recorked with a new cork. Champagne production is a long and meticulous process that requires a great deal of care and attention to produce a top-quality wine. The particularities of champagne productionmake it a unique product appreciated the world over.
