Tasting Notes |
|
Pink Champagne is
produced by mixing a litle red wine with the white before bottling
(Champagne is the only French wine where this is allowed). |
|
Blanc de Blancs are
made exclusively from the Chardonnay grape |
|
Blanc de Noirs literally
'white of blacks', is a Champagne made entirely from either or both
Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. |
|
Non-Vintage Champagne
can be sold with or without a vintage date. If non-vintage, it cannot be
put on the market until twelve months after January 1st following the
harvest. |
|
Vintage dated
Champagne means 100% of the blend needs to come from that vintage, and
cannot be sold for three years following the harvest. |
|
De Luxe Champagnes
require the same ageing period as Vintage dated wines, however
many have at least five years on their lees. |
