Pinot Noir
A noble variety native to Burgundy. It produces delicate, complex, and elegant wines, but is also known for being very difficult to cultivate. Its charm lies in its transparent color and aromas of red fruits and spices.
The world's most famous sparkling wine region. Only wines made in this region using the traditional method (Méthode Champenoise) can bear the name Champagne. The cool climate and chalky soil create delicate and complex bubbles.

History
In the 17th century, Dom Pérignon is said to have established the technique of capturing bubbles. Since then, Champagne has become beloved worldwide as a symbol of celebration.
Sommelier Note
Temperature control is key for Champagne. Serving at 8-10°C allows you to fully enjoy the delicate bubbles and aromas. Try distinguishing between the elegance of Blanc de Blancs and the power of Blanc de Noirs.
