2. Types of Champagne
There are many different types of champagne that vary
wildly in taste and, of course, price. The most widely
available is non-vintage (NV) champagne which accounts
for as much as 90% of all champagnes produced. The list in
the next slides outlines the different types of champagne.

3. Non-Vintage Champagne
Champagne that is blended from a variety of
up to 40 different wines from many different
years. Champagne producers will keep back
20% of their harvest each year to use in future
blends.

4. Vintage Champagne
Vintage champagne is created from grapes
belonging to a particular year. Not all years
are deemed ‘Vintage’ and the decision is
made by individual Houses.

5. Rose Champagne
Rose or ‘Pink’ champagne can be created by one of two
methods.
1. By adding a small amount of Pinot Noir red wine to the
champagne
2. By pressing the grapes slower than normal to allow the
skin time to colour the wine Rose champagne is often
revered as a ‘romantic’ champagne based on its
colouration.

6. Prestige (Luxury) Cuvée
A Prestige Cuvée is a Vintage champagne but not only are the
grapes from a specific year, but also from the very best vineyards.
Although all grapes that make champagne are hand-picked, these
really are the pick of the bunch!

7. Demi-sec Champagne
Countless champagne blends have been created
to cater for all tastes. Demi-Sec (translation: semi-
dry) is a medium dry / medium sweet champagne.

8. Recently Disgorged
Recently disgorged champagne is champagne that is
disgorged just before being sold. For many this
means that the champagne maintains its freshness
and benefits from the additional maturation in the
bottle.

9. Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Champagne is usually made using 3 grapes –
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Blanc
de Blancs champagne used only white
Chardonnay grapes.

10. Blanc de Noirs Champagne
Blanc de Noirs wines are made only from the Pinot Noir
and/or Pinot Meunier red grapes and consequently have
a slight salmon or pink tint.
