Champagne is a sparkling, dry white table wine exclusively produced from the grapes grown in the Champagne region of France.

According to winemakers, aging is the potential key to adding more aroma, flavor, character and especially quality to champagne. All champagnes must spend a minimum of 15 months prior to shipping. Based on the protected designation of origin, the alcoholic beverage may only be named as champagne if the grapes are grown and processed in the Champagne region of France.
