About Champagne and Sparkling Wine

Best wine supplier in Philippines discusses wine related topics

Champagne is only Champagne if originating from the Champagne Ardenne. Within the Champagne region Champagne lovers make a distinction between the following areas:

* La montagne de Reims (Marne, mainly Pinot Noire)

* La Valée de la Marne (Marne et Aisne)

* La Côte des Blancs (Marne. Mainly Chardonay)

* La Côte des Bar (Aube near Troyes).

A number of organisations (amongst which the Champagne Information Bureau, CIVC) prefers to use a more geographical subdivision like Aisne, Marne and Aube. The cultivated area of the vineyards is stated in the following schedule:

Province                                            # Hectares

Aisne et la Seine et Marne                2.053

Aube et la Haute-Marne                    5.823

Marne                                                 22.271

Total                                                   30.147

The Marne is the Province with the largest surface of vineyards. Hence  the fact that the majority of the producers are to be found around Reims and Epernay
