bods1000 Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 Champagne is a blend of Pinor Noir, Pinot Meunier (both red grapes) and Chardonnay (white grape) in varying proportions depending on that Champagne house's style. Yes, those labelled Blanc de Blanc are from 100% Chardonnay and lighter, more vibrant, tangier acidity than a typical champagne with nice green apple and pear notes. Brut simply means dry as champagne is produced with different degrees of sweetness. nice info, pare, thanks! I never really knew the composition of Champagne, and neither did I know that it comes in several forms Correct me if I'm wrong - is champagne a type or a brand of sparkling wine?

chocolateandport Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 nice info, pare, thanks! I never really knew the composition of Champagne, and neither did I know that it comes in several forms Correct me if I'm wrong - is champagne a type or a brand of sparkling wine? It's neither. Champagne is a sparkling wine produced in Champagne, a wine-growing region located in Northeast France. Any other sparkling wine produced anywhere else but the region of Champagne cannot be labelled as such. It can only be called sparkling wine or any other variation thereof (i.e. frizzante, spumante, made by methode champenois or traditionelle, etc.) Types of champagne refers to the style: vintage champagne (from a single year deemed exceptional), blanc de blancs (100% chardonnay), blanc de noirs (100% Pinot Noir), Pink or Rose, and prestige cuvees (shows the house' styles at their best).

Speaking of frizzante, I remember in Italy when you order for a mineral water in a resto, you have to specify whether you want it frizzante (sparkling) or still (the Italian term of which I forgot).
