Where is Champagne made?
True Champagne is made only in the Champagne region of northern France, just northeast of Paris. In France, only wines made in this region can be called Champagne. While the process used to create Champagne can be undertaken anywhere, the climate of this region is exceptionally suited to creating the crisp, acidic wines used to make this sparkling wine. U.S. producers have borrowed the name Champagne, and frequently use it on labels, but these wines cannot be compared to the ones from France.
