Region Details
Despite frequent attempts, nowhere else in the world has succeeded in replicating the complexity, poise and elegance of a typical champagne. Its qualities are ascribed to the region's northerly, continental location to the east of Paris, to its ancient chalk soils and to its deep-rooted traditions. Its success is due in part to one of the most enduring public relations and marketing campaigns ever seen, which has served to link the drinking champagne on special occasions across the globe. Demand has the capacity to outstrip supply despite pushing production, and appellation boundaries, to the limit. Producers are now focusing their attention on special cuvées, vintage styles and new formulations to increase value rather than volume. A consequence of the rising trend of prices has been to encourage growers to bottle and commercialise their wines themselves, rather than to sell to the big houses.
