Champagne, France
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.
Chardonnay
Chardonnay is a white grape from Burgundy that has spread to nearly every wine-growing region on earth, prized for its versatility and its ability to reflect both terroir and the winemaker's hand.
Pinot Meunier
Pinot Meunier is a red grape from the Champagne region of France, where it is one of the three principal varieties used in Champagne alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is a red grape from Burgundy, one of the oldest and most revered varieties in the world, famous for being thin-skinned, fussy to grow and capable of extraordinary elegance.
Pinot Blanc
Pinot Blanc is a white grape most associated with Alsace in France, a colour mutation within the Pinot family and known in German-speaking regions as Weißburgunder or Weisser Burgunder.
