Where are we traveling?

Champagne is the name of the world's most famous sparkling wine, the appellation under which it is sold, and the French wine region from which it comes. The Champagne region lies at the northern edge of the world's wine regions, with average temperatures lower than any other French wine region. As with many French wines, it is the Champagne region's terroir (specifically, its climate) that dictates the grape varieties grown in its vineyards. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay are among the few grape varieties that can thrive in the cold, wet climate of northern France. In addition to the climatic conditions of the particular vintage and the characteristics of the grape varieties, there is a third element of Champagne's uniqueness. The landscape that gave Champagne its name ('great expanse of flat country' in Old French) forms an undulating relief on the white, limestone soils of the Paris Basin. This famous chalk is distinguished from the calcareous soils of other French wine-growing regions because it is much finer and more porous.

The little history of the country

Champagne

product descriptions logo

France, home of Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne, is arguably the most important wine-producing country in the world. For centuries, it has produced more wine than any other country. Wine is ingrained in French culture at nearly every level of society; it is the drink of the elite and the common people, and a key symbol of Roman Catholicism, the majority religion in France. The diversity of French wines is due, in part, to the country's wide variety of climates. Champagne, its northernmost region, enjoys one of the coolest climates in the wine world, in stark contrast to the hot and dry Rhone Valley. Bordeaux, to the southwest, has a maritime climate heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the various rivers that weave through its vineyards. Far from any oceanic influence, eastern regions such as Burgundy and Alsace have a continental climate, with hot, dry summers and cold winters. In the deep south of France, Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon enjoy a decidedly Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot summers and relatively mild winters. Each sub-region can be defined by its particular geographical characteristics, which in turn create specific characteristics in the wines produced there. From the granite hills of Beaujolais to the famous limestone slopes of Chablis and the gravel of the Médoc, the sites on which French vineyards have been developed are considered of vital importance and are at the heart of the notion of terroir.
