Question 1

What is a Blanc de Noirs Champagne?

Accepted Answer

A Blanc de Noirs Champagne is a white sparkling wine made exclusively from black grape varieties, mainly Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Despite using dark-skinned grapes, the juice is clear, producing a pale, elegant Champagne. It’s known for its rich, full-bodied flavor profile with notes of red berries, brioche, and a bit of spice, offering more intensity and structure compared to the lighter, more delicate Blanc de Blancs.

Question 2

What is the Traditional Method ?

Accepted Answer

Champagne is made using the Traditional Method (Méthode Champenoise), where a second fermentation takes place inside each bottle, creating its fine bubbles and deep flavors. The wine is then aged for a couple of years. This process takes time and care, but results in Champagne’s signature elegance. By contrast, wines like Prosecco use a faster method where the second fermentation happens in large steel tanks, producing lighter, fruitier bubbles at a lower cost.

Question 3

What is a good and affordable Champagne ?

Accepted Answer

Major Champagne houses maintain its luxury image through heavy investment in branding, which drive the prices up. Artisan Champagnes provide an interesting alternative to the premium branded Champagnes. They offer excellent quality at a more accessible price, often showcasing the distinctiveness of the individual vineyard or terroir.
