CHAMPAGNE WINE CELLARS
The headquarters of many of the large Champagne Houses are based in Reims and Epernay. Their cellars are dug deep into the chalk and form a network of over a hundred kilometres of tunnels and underground chambers housing hundreds of millions of bottles of champagne
THE “CHAMPAGNE” COMES EXCLUSIVELY FROM CHAMPAGNE REGION
Many winemakers of sparkling wine have attempted to use the name Champagne on their labels of sparking wine. But unless it’s made in the Champagne region of France, sparkling wine cannot be called champagne.
The Champagne vineyards, their hillsides, houses and wine cellars, are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
