The wine region of Champagne Grand Cru
Elite of Champagne: 17 villages rated 100% on the cru scale (1919), only 5% of the 319 communes. Exceptional bubbles with signature notes of brioche, toasted hazelnut, honey, candied citrus, russet apple and chalky minerality, a chiselled finish. Cote des Blancs (Avize, Cramant, Mesnil) sublimates taut, saline Chardonnay. Montagne de Reims (Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzenay) magnifies fleshy, deep Pinot Noir.

Three grapes blended or solo: fleshy Pinot Noir (38%), fruity Meunier (33%), chiselled Chardonnay (28%). From straight Blanc de Blancs to vinous Blanc de Noirs, from non-vintage Brut to age-worthy Millésimé. AOC since 1927, 34,300 ha on chalk, 17 Grands Crus and 44 Premiers Crus.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
