Champagne Appellation

The Champagne Appellation refers to a specific region in France where the production of Champagne sparkling wine is regulated. To be labeled as Champagne, the wine must come from this designated area in northeastern France and adhere to strict guidelines regarding the grape varieties used, production methods, and aging processes. The three main grape varieties are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. These regulations ensure the quality and distinctively crisp taste of Champagne, making it a celebrated choice for special occasions around the world.
