Can Champagne come from anywhere?
A. Absolutely not. You can use the same grape varieties as Champagne – Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay; you can make the wine bubble in exactly the same way as Champagne. But you still can’t call your fizz Champagne unless it comes from one specific area north east of Paris called – Champagne. So why not visit and see what Champagne is like? The chief town of Reims is only 2 hours or so by car from Calais.
