Champagne

Not all bubbly is created equal, so while “Champagne” is often used as a general term to describe all sparkling wine, Champagne can only come from the small northern region of Champagne, France. The heart of Champagne has long centered around and between the two major cities of Reims and Epernay, in the sub-regions of Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne. Two other sub-regions, however, have been gaining in prominence, and all five regions have their own distinct personalities to contribute to the land of Champagne.
