Grape varietals


Grape varietals: three main varietals are cultivated in Champagne: Chardonnay (30%), Pinot Noir (38%) and Meunier (32%). Other traditional varietals are still present in very small quantities (less than 0.3% of the whole wine-growing region): Arbanne, Petit Meslier, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc. The producer, by selecting the grape varieties to integrate in the blending, determines the character of the champagne obtained. See each variety.
