Champagne
Champagne is more than just sparkling wine. It’s a distinct region in the north-east of France, where cool climate, chalky soils and strict production rules come together to create a signature style you can recognise at first sip. Traditionally, Champagne is made using a blend of grapes, most often Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, which helps balance crispness, fruit and texture.
The area’s method of making also matters. Many bottles are produced using the traditional method, with a second fermentation happening in the bottle. This is what builds those fine, persistent bubbles and adds layers of flavour over time, from citrus and orchard fruit to brioche and toasted notes in more mature bottles.
Whether you’re choosing something bright for aperitifs or a richer cuvée for celebrations, Champagne offers a wide range of styles, including brut, extra brut and rosé. If you’re planning a dinner party, a dry brut is wonderfully versatile with seafood and chicken, while rosé brings extra charm to lighter dishes and summer gatherings.
