Champagne & Sparkling Wine

Let's talk a little bit about Champagne. For starters, let's get down to basics: what is it? Basically, Champagne is a type of sparkling white wine that comes from the region in France called Champagne. It's made of mostly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, which are fermented before being blended with wines from other parts of France like Burgundy and Beaujolais.

What should you know about Champagne?

Champagne is a sparkling wine that is made from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France. The wine is made using the traditional method of bottle fermentation, which involves adding yeast and sugar to the wine and then allowing it to ferment in the bottle. This process gives Champagne its signature bubbles.

Champagne is often associated with luxury and special occasions, but there are actually many different types of Champagne available, from budget-friendly options to premium brands. Whether you're looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a glass of something bubbly, CellarsMarket has got you covered.

Types of Champagnes

There are many types of champagnes, and each one has its own unique flavour. Here are some of the most popular types of champagnes:

  1. Brut Champagne: This type of champagne is dry and has a high acidity level. It is made with a blend of different wines, and the final product has very low sugar levels.
  2. Demi-Sec Champagne: This type of champagne is sweeter than brut champagne, but still has a high acidity level. It is made with a blend of different wines, and the final product has medium sugar levels.
  3. Rose Champagne: This type of champagne gets its pink colour from the addition of red wine during production. It is dryer than brut champagne, but not as dry as demi-sec champagne.
  4. Blanc de Blancs Champagne: This type of champagne is made exclusively with white grapes. It is very dry, with high acidity levels and low sugar levels.
  5. Blanc de Noirs Champagne: This type of champagne is made with red grapes that have been fermented without their skins. As a result, it is a pale pink colour and is sweeter than brut.

How to choose a bottle of Champagne

When it comes to choosing a bottle of Champagne, there are a few things you need to take into account. First, what is the occasion? Is it a special celebration or a casual get-together? Second, what is your budget? There are many brands and types of Champagne available, so it's important to find one that fits both your occasion and your wallet. Finally, what do you and your guests prefer? Do you like sweeter or drier Champagnes? Once you've answered these questions, you'll be well on your way to finding the perfect bottle of bubbly.
