The vineyard

35 000 ha of vineyards possess the appellation of Champagne.

Champagne is made of 3 types of vine : Chardonnay, for its sharpness and elegance, Pinot Noir, for the strength and generosity, and Pinot Meunier, for its bouquet and fruity taste.

How can you recognize the 3 types of grapes?

Chardonnay is a white grape, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier are both black grapes.

A little trick to make the difference between them :Pinot Meunier takes its name from the white down you can see on young leaves and grapes, just as though the miller has sprinkled flour on them.

Don’t hesitate to go and meet our wine-growers. They will be pleased to share their passion and their know-how with you.

You may taste a wide range of Champagne because, just like red or white wines, every Champagne has their own history.
