What is an Oaked Champagne?

Most Champagnes are fermented in stainless steel tanks or large neutral vessels without oak influence before bottling. This method preserves the wine’s fresh, crisp, and vibrant character, emphasizing bright fruit and minerality. In contrast, oaked Champagnes are crafted by aging the wine in oak barrels before bottling. This technique adds rich aromas of toasted brioche, vanilla, and warm spices, along with a creamy, full-bodied texture. Traditionally found in some vintage and prestige cuvées, this style is now enjoying a modern revival among winemakers seeking to highlight complexity and depth.
