For starters, Champagne usually has smaller bubbles in higher quantities. Most importantly, however, the grapes must be grown, harvested, and produced in the Champagne region, resulting in unique characteristics that can only be found in the area\u2019s particular climate and soil (what wine aficionados call <em>terroir.<\/em>) The grapes must be pressed and fermented in oak or steel barrels. Then, a second fermentation takes place and the wine gets bottled and placed in cellars. After a minimum aging process of 15 months, it can be released. By then, the carbon dioxide gas has created soft bubbles resulting in Champagne\u2019s unique fine, fizzy mouthfeel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"20013\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Meunier_Grapes_shutterstock_1495429421-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20013\"\/><figcaption>Pinot Meunier is one of only three grapes that can be used to make Champagne.

From 898, France\u2019s royal coronations took place in Reims, and Champagne became eternally linked to the crown and celebration. In the twelfth century, the wine became world renowned. Champagne, as we know it today, is made using the <em>m\u00e9thode traditionnelle<\/em> (adding a second fermentation in the bottle) and was first invented by the monk Dom P\u00e9rignon in 1668. The rest is, as they say, sparkling history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An expert in effervescence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Champagne is divided into five main zones, you can\u2019t cover them all in a weekend away so stick with one or two. For example, Montagne de Reims is all about Pinot Noir and boasts the majority of Cru villages (superior vineyards). Another popular region is Vall\u00e9e de la Marne, which specializes in the red grape Pinot Meunier, which is usually blended with other grapes while C\u00f4te des Blancs is famous for its Chardonnay-only bubbly. If you prefer to go off the beaten path, head to C\u00f4te de S\u00e9zanne, which is mainly planted with Chardonnay, or stay in Troyes for surprisingly affordable Champagne and discover Aube\u2019s non-vintage&nbsp;bubbly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"20027\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Champagne_Region_near_Reims_shutterstock_491650465-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20027\"\/><figcaption>I heard it through the grapevine: a church outside of Reims is surrounded by vines.

While the wine is divine, we recommend visiting smaller, independent wine houses to meet winemakers who own and harvest their own grapes. Some smaller wineries, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/sp.booking.com\/hotel\/fr\/domaine-ployez-jacquemart.en-gb.html?aid=1500264&amp;label=goeu_DE_Berlin_FR_Champagne_ow_1_0_1_id0_mag_com_fr_EUR_Other_x_other_210216_376217_372824\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">La Villa Champagne Ployez-Jacquemart<\/a>, also offer lodging.
