The wine region of Coteaux Champenois
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.

Even then, the volumes available might mean that a wine w ...
