Champagne
is the quintessential celebration wine. The Champagne appellation,
located about 90 miles northeast of Paris, has a unique combination of
land and weather that is perfectly suited for the production of this
special wine. The handpicked grapes from the region’s carefully
delineated plots are the only grapes allowed to be used to produce
world-famous Champagne, and whether it is served at a holiday party,
alongside a dinner, as part of a New Year’s celebration or given as a
gift, your readers need to know that Champagne only comes from
Champagne, France. |
