Champagne

The Champagne region is divided into four major regions.
In the far north, the mountain of Reims where Pinot Noir offers power and generosity.
Pinot Meunier (or just Meunier) from the Marne valley brings fruity notes.
South of Épernay, the côte des Blancs with its chalky soil is the promised land of the elegant Chardonnay.
Further south, the côte des Bar with its continental climate enhances the Pinot Noir in all its grace.
But within these large areas, a mosaic of micro-terroirs is shattered.
Each parcel gives the wine its own identity.

The Champagne market consists mainly of three entities: the maisons de négoce, which deal with the processing of wine and the sale of purchased grapes; the cooperative wineries, which deal both with the processing and sale of wines produced with their own grapes, and with the supply of raw material to the maisons de négoce; finally there are the winemakers who produce and sell wines from their own grapes.

The diversity of its terroirs, the alchemy of the blends, the secret of the liqueurs de tirage, the long years of refinement, the style of the Maison, the hand of the little vignerons, give rise to a myriad of extraordinary champagnes.
