What Is Premium Champagne?

A type of fine sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France, this is an indulgence with a long list of prerequisites. From the geographical location of the vintner, to the special method of double fermentation, premium French Champagne can’t easily be replicated. Wines made in other regions might be extremely similar to Champagne, but unless they fulfill the appellation requirements, they can’t use its esteemed title on their label.

Where Does Champagne Come From?

Champagne comes exclusively from the Champagne region of France, located in the northeastern corner of the country, close to the Belgian border. The soil in this area has a chalky quality due to its high limestone content, which lends Champagne grapes their characteristic mineral flavor. 

What Grape Is Premium Champagne Made From?

Premium Champagne is made from three primary grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. The latter two are the only types of red grapes that grow in this region, adding to the singularity and specificity of fine Champagne. Chardonnay produces Blanc de Blanc, which is made purely from white grapes.

What is the Unique Fermentation Process?

Like wine, champagne is bottled, however it also has added wine, sugar, and yeast in each Champagne bottle. Then the bottles are stored horizontally to let the second fermentation process begin. The process officially begins when the yeast takes the sugar and outputs alcohol and carbon dioxide in its place.

How Many Calories Are In Champagne? 

Most types of Champagne contain around 90 calories per serving, though some sweeter varieties can extend up into the 120s. Regardless, Champagne is one of the lowest-calorie wines available. 

How Much Sugar Is In Champagne? 

The drier the Champagne, the less sugar. So, a Brut nature Champagne has essentially no sugar at all, while a Doux Champagne has a couple of teaspoons per glass. 

What Are The Different Types of Premium Champagne? 

While all Champagne shares a region of origin, they don’t all share the same qualities and quirks.

Brut nature: 

This is the driest option with essentially zero sugar and an acid-forward profile.

Extra brut:
