Wine for kings and king of wines, they say. Champagne is the only drink that can make us shine without lighting the face. This is how they defined champagne in the times of kings and empires. Champagne is perhaps the biggest contribution French knowledge and experience with wine has given to the world.
It is a completely festive, complex wine, which invites us to enjoy, almost synonymous with party. It is enjoyed for its beautiful, luminous color, its complex bouquet, its incomparable flavor, its silky texture and, especially, its effervescence. It is the aristocrat of sparkling wines.
The nature of the soil, the variety of the grape and the geographic position of the region of Champagne, France, give champagne its inimitable characteristics, complexity and balance.
The most important women in history contributed to the fame of the “bubbly”: Madame Pompadour, surrounded by the most important artists and philosophers of the time, confessed that “only champagne leaves women beautiful after drinking it,” while Bonaparte’s mother, as well as his wife, Josephine, served as excellent champagne ambassadors.
And if only this drink makes us more beautiful, it is time to take note of the world’s best champagnes, since this beauty will certainly be proportional to the quality of the champagne..
