Champagnes & Sparkling Wines
Sparklers are made up of Champagnes and Sparkling wines. True Champagnes come from the Champagne region of France. Premium Champagnes are expensive not only because they are made from premium grapes, but because they are made strictly by the “methode champenoise” or champagne method. This traditional method requires a second fermentation in the bottle as well as 100 special handlings during the process. Some sparkling wines earn the right to include “Methode Champenoise” in their name but only if they adhere strictly to the traditional French process.
