CHAMPAGNE<br />
– STYLES –<br />
The variety of styles can be partly explained by the 34,300 bearing hectares across 5 departments<br />
Champagne, where the<br />
variety of styles is endless<br />
We often wrongly refer to ‘Champagne’. With a history spanning over 300 years,<br />
the wines currently come from 34,300 hectares of vines, spread over 5 French<br />
departments. It follows that, although they share common character traits, styles<br />
should differ significantly. Before we meet an exciting line-up of winegrowers,<br />
merchants and co-operative producers who will share their viewpoints with us,<br />
let’s quickly go back over some of the basic tenets of Champagne.<br />
