Champagne is the famous French region home to sparkling wine. Its unique chalky soils key to Champagne’s refreshing minerality. 1st fermentation takes place in tank in the case of Bollinger Champagne in old barrels. Only the black grapes of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and the white Chardonnay grape prominent in Taittinger Champagne are grown there. 2nd fermentation and aging on lees occurs in bottle, the longer the more complex and finer Champagne becomes.
