The exploding cork. Endless tiny bubbles floating up and up in the glass. An indulgence. A celebration. A seduction. A triumph. This is the essence of Champagne, isnât it? But itâs not just bubbles in a glass that makes the wine, or the mystique. Only sparkling wine produced within the boundaries of the Champagne region is truly âChampagne.â At first glance, the region is not an obvious source of romance. Champagneâs history is grim and bloody, swept by war and destruction from Attila the Hun to the filthy trenches of WWI and the Nazi depredations of WWII. The environment for winemaking is desperately hard â northerly latitude, chalky soil, copious rain, frost, rot. Yet itâs these difficulties that help make the wine unique.
