Coteaux Champenois is an appellation that geographically covers the same area as the Champagne appellation of France. Coteaux Champenois covers non-Sparkling wines, including red, white and rosé, but the latter two are produced in very small quantities. The authorised production area covers almost the entire region, although in practice the Grapes come from the west of the Champagne region. Because it is spread over 319 communes, the Coteaux Champenois catchment area has distinct climatic variations.
The majority of its vineyards are planted in a temperate maritime Climate with Slight continental influences, particularly in the south-east. The climatic conditions, combined with the region's latitude (48 to 49 degrees North), mean that the wines produced under the Coteaux Champenois appellation are, like their sparkling counterparts, Dry and light with a naturally high Acidity. The reds are best in warmer vintages, as the predominant grape variety, Pinot Noir, has difficulty maturing Fully in cooler years. On some labels, the title Coteaux Champenois may be followed by the name of the commune where the grapes were grown.
red wines from the region of Coteaux Champenois go well with generally quite well with dishes of veal, pork or game (deer, venison) such as recipes of delicious veal stew, blue cord or adapted vietnamese fondue.
