Purchase AOC Champagne

The AOC Champagne covers the entire Champagne region and extends over 34,300 hectares. Each year, more than 300 million bottles are produced within its 5 sub-regions: the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne, the Côte des Blancs, the Côte des Bar and the Côte de Sézanne. Each of these areas has its own characteristics, but the majority of the vineyard's soils rest on chalk. The 3 main grape varieties of the region are Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier as well as Chardonnay.Moreover, if the Côte des Blancs is the preferred area for  Chardonnay, allowing the production of numerous champagnes Blanc de Blancs, the Côte des Bar is predominantly known for Pinot Noir and more cuvées will therefore be labeled Blanc de Noirs. Champagne follows a very precise production process allowing the creation of the famous effervescence or mousse. The final addition of the liqueur d'expédition (cane sugar and wines) gives Champagne its definitive sugar content, categorizing it as Brut Nature, Extra Brut, Brut, Sec, Demi-sec, or doux.Finally, some villages in Champagne are classified as Premier Cru (44) or Grand Cru (17), highlighting the best terroirs of the vineyard.
