Champagen originated in France in the district of Champagne. In France, and in other parts of the EU, only sparkling wines made in that district are allowed to be called Champagne.
Champagne is the celebration drink. We use it to celebrate - sometimes for special occasions - sometimes for any occasion. - sometimes for no reason at all. Above all, it is the drink of holidays, birthdays, wedding and anniversaries, christenings and bar mitzvahs.
What does champagne go with? It goes with everything, literally everything from Oysters to Moose. It goes with appetizers and it goes with desserts. Champagne is marvelous.
The French use it as an aperitif because it enhances you appetite, cleans you taste and raises your spirits and helps you enjoy your dinner. I agree with it all.
Champagn is made in all countries, including the United States, Australia and South Africa make champagne and sparkling wines and very good ones. The brands made in the Napa Valley ans in Australia are every bit as good as the French. But they lack the romance. Champagne is the ultimate, exquisite gift of France.
Champagne is not just an ordinary sparkling wine. Anyone can make that. Champagne is unique because of the"methode champegnoise"s, unique second fermentation process in which yeast is reintroduced into the wine, in its bottle, the bottle is laid at an angle so that the residue sinks to the neck. Each bottle is then turned ever so slightly over three hundred times so that the fermentation is equal. When it is done the residue is drawn off. The result is a depth of taste and character that no other sparkling wine possesses.
Obviously this was horribly expensive and for years only the rich could afford the bubbley. So the French invented a new way of turning the bottles called "remouage" that settles the sediment in the neck of the bottle. It increased production by 10 times and it brought the price down to where the average person could enjoy champagne.
The yeast residue is drawn off by first freezing the neck of the bottle, then taking out the plug of sediment and replacing it with white wine sugar and/or brandy. The French call these steps "disgorgement" and "dosage " (for refilling). The whole process takes about four months to complete.
Champagne is usually made from the Chardonnay grape although vintners have experimented with many other grapes and combinations.
Champagne goes with everything.
