The Wines of Champagne, France

Champagne, located in northeastern France, is synonymous with sparkling wine.

The region's cool climate and chalky soils create ideal conditions for producing high-acidity grapes, essential for Champagne's crisp and lively character. The primary grape varietals are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.

Champagne's history of effervescent wine production began in the 17th century, and it remains a symbol of celebration and luxury worldwide.
