By law, Champagne can be made only in the Champagne region of France, comprising the main towns of Reims and Epernay. No other sparkling wine can be labelled as Champagne.
The dominant chalk of the region is punctuated by limestone proper in the southernmost zone and areas of heavier clay throughout, giving real variances of terroir among Champagne’s sites. This being as it may, Champagne is the world’s finest sparkling wine because it is largely a blended wine of many parts, transcending any single factor’s influence.
For a host of exciting alternatives, grower Champagnes are typically sourced from a single vineyard or sub-appellation to express their special site. These wines are full of personality – look for RM (Récoltant-Manipulant) on the label.
