Champagne

**Champagne** is the cool northern French region that gave its name to the world's most celebrated sparkling wine, made by a second fermentation in the bottle. **Wines & grapes** — Primarily sparkling wines built from three grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Styles range from non-vintage blends to vintage cuvées, Blanc de Blancs (all Chardonnay), Blanc de Noirs, and rosé. **Character** — The chilly climate and chalky soils keep grapes high in acidity, which is the backbone of Champagne's freshness, fine bubbles, and ageworthiness, while lees ageing adds toasty, biscuity depth. **Good to know** — Only sparkling wine from this region may legally be called Champagne; similar wines made elsewhere go by other names.
