Homonym: {Шампань (Sparkling)
Шампань is a region in northeastern France known for its production of sparkling wine, commonly referred to as шампанское. The region's unique climate and chalky soil contribute to the distinct flavors of the wine, which is made primarily from three grape varieties: Шардоне, Пино Нуар, and Пино Менье.
The process of making шампанское involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which creates its characteristic bubbles. This method, known as the метод шампенуаз, is what sets шампанское apart from other sparkling wines produced around the world. The region is also recognized for its picturesque vineyards and historical significance in the wine industry.
