How is champagne made?
Champagne is a sparkling wine that is produced in the Champagne region of France. Although the term champagne is often used to refer to any sparkling wine, it is technically only champagne if it is produced in this specific region according to certain methods. Champagne is made from a blend of three different grapes – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. The grapes are grown in the Champagne region, which has a cool climate that is ideal for these particular varieties of grapes. The grapes are harvested in the fall and then pressed to extract the juice. The juice is then fermented in barrels or tanks, and the wine is bottled with yeast and sugar to create the carbonation. The champagne is then aged for a minimum of 15 months. Once it is ready, the champagne is disgorged, which means that the sediments are removed from the bottle. Finally, the champagne is given a dosage, which is a mixture of sugar and wine that determines the sweetness of the final product. The champagne is then sealed with a cork and ready to be enjoyed!
