Behind all these different names hides a different wine with different characteristics and tastes. Each wine depends on choices made during the three stages of production.

The blend:

It is at this stage of the production process that the taste and character of Champagne wines are determined. In Champagne the blending process takes place on three levels: the blending of still wines from different growing areas, of the three grape varieties and of different years.

Dosage:

At the end of the aging period, the winemaker removes the yeast deposit from the bottle and adds a solution of wine and sugar. The addition of sugar, according to the different wines, allows the Champenois to create a scale of ‘sweetness’ from extra-dry to sweet.

The label:

The label carries the following information:
- The Champagne Appellation
- The brand or name of the producer
- The level of dosage: e.g. brut, demi-sec, …
- Specific descriptors; Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs, Vintage, Rosé, prestige cuvées.
