Encyclopedia
Champagne bottles come in many sizes for many occasions. When selecting a bottle other than the standard 750 ml. bottle, keep in mind that the bottle size can make a difference in the taste experience. They come in ten different sizes, but some sizes are more difficult to find than others.
Champagne and sparkling wine grapes are primarily chardonnay, pinot noir, and meunier. Each variety plays a different role and is used for a different effect. A blanc de blancs (100% chardonnay) will taste different than a blanc de noirs (100% pinot noir and/or meunier) which will taste different from a white blend champagne (which may contain pinot noir, meunier and chardonnay).
A vintage chart provides a year by year analysis of the Champagne Region's grape harvest. When deciding on the vintage of a brand the vintage chart can give clues to the best years. The decision to declare a vintage rests with each individual producer depending upon their particular grapes.
After a bottle of champagne has been opened properly, and observing appropriate safety measures, it is time to present it to guests in the best possible light. Ensure the appropriate glassware is available for everyone. The ideal service temperature is about 40 to 45° for a non-vintage and up to 50° for more mature top cuvée.
