The most prestigious Champagne
is grown is produced in regions
with a cool climate and chalky,
high mineral soils. Growers are
permitted 7 varietals as part of
the strict governance of the
region, but most Champagne
houses favour Chardonnay, Pinot
Noir and Pinot Meunier.
To produce Champagne’s unique
bubbles, the wine undergoes
secondary fermentation in the
bottle. This is done by adding
a small amount of yeast and
sugar, producing carbon that
becomes trapped within the bottle
and create the sparkling or
carbonated effect.
