Learn about Champagne, A sparkling French Wine? CIVC?
Champagne is a French sparkling wine
The term Champagne can be used as a generic term for sparkling wine, but in the EU and some countries it is illegal to label any product Champagne unless it came from the Champagne wine region of France and is produced under the rules of the appellation
This alcoholic drink is produced from specific types of grapes grown in the Champagne region following rules that demand, among other things, specific vineyard practices, sourcing of grapes exclusively from designated places within the Champagne region, specific grape-pressing methods and secondary fermentation of the wine in the bottle to cause carbonation
The grapes Pinot noir, Pinot meunier, and Chardonnay are primarily used to produce almost all Champagne, but small amounts of Pinot blanc, Pinot gris, Arbane, and Petit Meslier are vinified as well
Only these specific grapes grown according to appellation rules on designated plots of land within the appellation may be used to make Champagne
Champagne became associated with royalty in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries
The leading manufacturers made efforts to associate their Champagnes with nobility and royalty through advertising and packaging, which led to its popularity among the emerging middle class
Sparkling wines are produced worldwide, but many legal structures reserve the word Champagne exclusively for sparkling wines from the Champagne region, made in accordance with Comité Interprofessionnel du vin de Champagne regulations
What is French Wine?
French wine is produced all throughout France, in quantities between 50 and 60 million hectolitres per year, or 7–8 billion bottles
France is one of the largest wine producers in the world, along with Italian, Spanish, and American wine-producing regions
French wine traces its history to the 6th century BC, with many of France’s regions dating their wine-making history to Roman times
The wines produced range from expensive wines sold internationally to modest wines usually only seen within France such as the Margnat wines were during the post war period
