Champagne is created not in one or ten wines, but from up to 60 wines. They truly are based on two red grapes and something white - pinot meunier, pinot noir and chardonnay. Most Champagnes have minimal levels of Pinot Boutique, compared to the other two grapes. Every blend often contains only 5% to 20% of pinot meunier. You can find quite a number of Champagnes who even eliminate pinot meunier.

The wineries blend their opted for grapes until a range of wines are done. The spectrum of flavors and textures starts from light-bodied Champagnes to full-bodied ones. The former types usually are characterized with acidity that's fine and citrusy and flavors which can be delicate and also creamy. The latter types have dense textures with hints of custard and have toasty, vanilla flavors.

Some wine drinkers who love spiky, light and vibrant Champagnes with lots of zing will find the fuller styles an excessive amount of. Just as, those that love toasty, rich and creamy Champagnes would be unsatisfied with lighter Champagnes.

Every Champagne maker blends grapes in such a way that he will produce the same taste and style every year. Champagne houses that produce full-bodied styles usually work with a larger percentage of pinot noir grapes and depend on vintners famous for yielding fuller-bodied wines. Houses that concoct lighter styles use more of the white grapes and be determined by vineyards that produce delicate wines. But it should be remembered that the lightness or fullness refers to the body of the wine and not, at all, implies its sweetness.
