Champagne

Champagne – Elegance in Every Bubble

Champagne is the epitome of luxury, celebration and exclusivity . This iconic sparkling wine originates from the Champagne region in northeastern France and is produced using the traditional method known as the méthode champenoise . It is this process of secondary fermentation in the bottle that gives champagne its characteristic fine bubbles, depth and complex aromas.

The grapes behind the perfect Champagne

Champagne is primarily made from three grape varieties, each of which contributes unique characteristics:
🍇 Chardonnay – adds elegance, freshness and finesse.
🍇 Pinot Noir – provides structure, fullness and depth.
🍇 Pinot Meunier – adds fruity notes and softness.

Different styles of Champagne

Champagne comes in several variations, each offering a unique taste experience:
🥂 Blanc de Blancs – elegant and mineral, made exclusively from Chardonnay.
🥂 Blanc de Noirs – powerful and full-bodied, made from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
🥂 Rosé Champagne – delicate and fruity, created with short skin contact or by mixing red and white wine.

Dosage – from crunchy to sweet

The amount of added sugar, called dosage , determines the sweetness of the champagne:
🍾 Brut Nature – completely dry, with no added sugar.
🍾 Extra Brut & Brut – crisp and balanced, the most popular style.
🍾 Extra Dry & Demi-Sec – sweeter, perfect for an aperitif or dessert.

Champagne – the ultimate companion

Whether it's for festive occasions, a romantic dinner or a moment of self-indulgence , Champagne is the obvious choice. Its refined bubbles, complex flavor profile and timeless elegance make it an unrivaled wine that elevates any experience.
