Region
Champagne is both the name of the sparkling wine and the region in which the sparkling wine is made. No other wine can be called Champagne unless it comes from this very region in France. The chalk soils and particular geographic location make wines of freshness, delicacy and raciness, whilst also being rich and complex, and are unlike other examples outside the region. Top varieties include Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay.
