CHAMPAGNE
One of the most northern wine producing regions in
the world, Champagne is located 90 miles north-east
of Paris with 34,000 hectares of vines. Surrounding the
Champagne hubs of Epernay and Reims, the region
produces around a million bottles of Champagne a day.
CHAMPAGNE
A technique said to have been invented by Dom Pérignon in 1688,
Champagne is made using the traditional method whereby a second
fermentation is induced in the bottle, producing CO2 which becomes
trapped, resulting in a sparkling wine. Champagne style wines are now
replicated all over the world.
These premium wines are usually made from a blend of grapes:
Chardonnay to add fruit and elegance; the red grapes, Pinot Noir and
Pinot Meunier, for body and backbone.
CHAMPAGNE
BILLECART-SALMON
Still family run, the small house of Billecart-Salmon offers a range of black-grape-dominated
Champagnes with bright, complex fruit flavours resulting from a long, slow, cool fermentation
Billecart-Salmon process. Particularly well known for its elegant Rosé, Billecart-Salmon is a Champagne house for wine
Brut Rosé lovers: many who discover it drink few other Champagnes thereafter.

Bollinger has been making classic, Pinot-dominated Champagnes with great ageing potential and
complexity since 1829. The house style is deliberately oxidative with much of the wine (all of the
vintage and reserve wines, and a high proportion of Special Cuvée) being fermented in old oak
barrels, resulting in rich toast, apple and spice flavours. A proportion of the reserve wines are aged in
magnums under cork keeping the aromas and flavours fresh and helping to make Special Cuvée one
of the most complex Non-Vintage Champagnes around.

CHAMPAGNE
LAURENT-PERRIER
Chardonnay forms the core of most of Laurent-Perrier’s cuvées giving the wines a fresh, elegant style.
The exception to this is their Cuvée Rosé, for which the house is best known. Made from 100% Pinot
Noir, it is unusual in that it is made by the tricky ‘saignée’ method. This is the technique by which the
pink colour is obtained through maceration of the skins rather than the addition of red wine (the way
most rosé Champagnes are made) and gives Laurent-Perrier Rosé its remarkable flavour.

SPARKLING
Sparkling wine is arguably the most technical style of wine in the world. Not only do these
wines have to undergo a first fermentation in order to make alcohol, but also a second
fermentation to produce the carbon dioxide giving the wine its fizz. This is done either in the
same way as Champagne, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, or by using
the tank method where it takes place inside a sealed tank.
Produced all around the world, sparkling wine comes in a huge range of styles,
from bone dry to perfumed and floral.

ROSÉ
Rosé is produced in a variety of styles around the world, although perhaps the best known
are those from Provence. Not only is this France’s oldest wine region, having been
making wine for over 2,600 years, but it is also the only one to focus on rosé.
It even has a research institute dedicated to the style. Dry, crisp and refreshing,
these wines are a blend of regional varieties such as Grenache, Carignan and Syrah.

France produces 7-8 billion bottles of wine every year, second only

27 billion hectolitres being drunk in France annually, wine is produced
throughout the country in every style.
France’s long-standing wine heritage gave birth to the appellation
system, designed to preserve regional wine styles, which has
been emulated all over Europe.
France is also the source of many international grape varieties
such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc
and Chardonnay.
11FRANCE WHITE ALSACE
Protected by the Vosges Mountains, Alsace is one of the driest regions in France and due
to its northern latitude has very long hours of sunshine during the growing season. This
helps to ripen the grapes and produce some of the world’s finest white wines.
The wines from Alsace are produced from noble varieties such as Riesling, Pinot Gris and
Gewurztraminer and unlike elsewhere in France, here, the name of the grape must appear on the
label. The best vineyard sites have been given Grand Cru status.

The Côte de Nuits is a 20km stretch forming the northern part of the Côte d’Or, Burgundy’s
‘golden slope’, and it is here that most of the world’s finest examples of Pinot Noir
are produced. Named after the region’s largest village, Nuits-Saint-Georges, 22 out of
Burgundy’s 23 red Grands Crus are located here, expressing a variety of styles. They tend
to be weightier and deeper coloured than the Pinots produced on the Côte de Beaune.
Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot and Nuits-Saints-Georges are known for their robust style of
wine, whilst Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée display finesse and elegance.
COTE DE BEAUNE
Despite the Côte de Beaune being well-known for its white wines, there is actually more red
wine produced in the region. The Pinot Noirs from this southern half of the Côte d’Or show
softness and finesse with the best examples coming from Beaune, Pommard and Volnay as
well as the exceptionally powerful Grand Cru of Corton.

DOMAINE COMTE GEORGES DE VOGUE
It would be difficult to rank the truly great producers of Burgundy, but it would be more difficult to
believe that Comte Georges de Vogüé would not feature in the top three list of every wine expert. With
just 12.5 hectares of vineyard, the domaine has been in the same family’s hands for over 500 years,
and now the 20th generation is at the helm.
