Champagne is a sparkling wine that comes exclusively from the Champagne region of France. It is made primarily from three grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. The unique climate and soil of the region contribute to the distinct flavors and characteristics of the wine. To produce Champagne, a secondary fermentation process occurs in the bottle, creating its signature bubbles. This method is known as the "traditional method" or "méthode champenoise." Champagne is often associated with celebrations and special occasions, making it a popular choice for toasting at events like weddings and New Year's Eve.
