Where Champagne is produced:
Champagne can only be produced in the demarcated region of Champagne, located in France. This area comprises five departments, with the Marne representing the majority (66%), followed by the Aube (23%), the Aisne (10%), the Haute Marne and the Seine et Marne. The vineyard is divided into four macro-regions: the Côte des Bar, the Côte des Blancs-Sézannais, the Montagne di Reims and the Marne Valley. Each of these macro-regions has unique characteristics that influence the style and character of the Champagnes produced in them. The vineyard area of Champagne extends over an area of approximately 24,000 hectares.
The Climate and the Territory of Champagne: An Excellence Combination
Champagne, thanks to its unique climate and territory, is able to produce wines of extraordinary quality. The cold and continental climate favors a slow ripening of the grapes, preserving the acidity and developing delicate aromas. The territory, divided into various macro-regions, offers a variety of calcareous and clayey soils, ideal for vineyards. This combination of factors creates the optimal conditions for the cultivation of native grapes, such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, guaranteeing the production of Champagnes of great elegance and complexity.
