Short introduction to the art of Champagne - making Since its invention, Champagne has played an important role in France. In 1815, Talleyrand, a major French politician, didn’t hesitate to make use of the “civilizing wine” in order to achieve the best peace conditions during the Congress of Vienna. Napoleon claimed to need this drink in every circumstance: “I cannot live without Champagne, in case of a victory, I deserve it; in case of a defeat, I need it.” The French like Champagne and in its region of origin you will certainly have several occasions to taste it. In order to give you an idea about this sparkling wine, you will find below a brief introduction to the Champagne. Usually, the winegrowers use three types of grape to produce Champagne: Chardonnay (white grape), Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (red grapes). The harvest generally takes place between the end of September and the middle of October, about 100 days after the blossom. This is the moment when the grapes have achieved an optimal maturity. According to the rules of the A.O.C. for Champagne*, the harvest must be executed exclusively by hand, from parcel to parcel, and from grape to grape. In October the wine-pickers do the harvest manually. With the champagne method, also called traditional method, the grapes are pressed without being treaded, which delivers a white must (grape juice) even with the red grapes.The quantity of sugar in the liqueur will determine whether the champagne is brut, dry or semi - dry. The majority of Champagnes are brut. On the label you will find the terms “grand cru” or “premier cru”. The term “cru” defines an exact vineyard, as well as the village in which it was cultivated. There are three main categories of vineyards: the “grands crus” classified at 100 % - the grapes cultivated here are the best, the wines obtained from these grapes are the finest. Villages classified at 90 – 99% are called “Premier Cru”. The rest of 242 villages belong to the category of peripheral vineyards, classified at 80 – 89%. It is said that the quantity and the fineness of the bubbles depends on the cleanliness of the glass. The champagne bubbles are formed depending on the dust located in the recipient in which the liquid has been poured… * The A.O.C. designation - Appelation d‘Origine Controlé - are set of strict guidelines applied to products, mostly wines and cheeses, which proscribe their ingredients and production techniques 98 \ 8.
