Take advantage of your visit to France to taste the Champagne wines, produced only in this particular region. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay are the three main grape varieties grown.

Champagne wines are created by blending different grape varieties, terroirs and years. They are matured for a minimum of 15 months in the cellars. Three years are necessary for the vintage wines and much more for special vintages. Time enables the enhancement and enrichment of the Champagne wines’ flavours.
