(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Champagne is a sparkling white wine, produced in the Champagne region of France. Other sparkling wines made with the traditional French methods may only be labelled méthode champenoise, or more frequently méthode traditionelle.
How is Champagne made ?
Champagne is most often produced from a blend of black and white grapes. The only white grape permitted is Chardonnay, and the two black grapes are Pinot Noir and the otherwise obscure Pinot Meunier. Because most of the color in a red wine comes from the skins, the juice is pressed off quickly, leaving white juice. The Pink or rosé Champagne is made either by allowing the skins of black grapes to impart a small amount of color and then removing them, or by adding still red wine to the finished product. Grapes used for Champagne are generally picked earlier, when sugar levels are lower and acid levels higher.The first fermentation begins in autumn, in the same way as any still wine, converting the natural sugar in the grapes into alcohol. This produces the "base wine". This wine is not very pleasurable by itself, being too acidic. At this point the blend is assembled, using wines from various vineyards, and, in the case of non-vintage champagne, various years.
The blended wine is put in bottles along with a small amount of sugar, called the tirage, and stored in a wine cellar, neck down, for fermentation. Fermentation produces carbon dioxide, and the bottle traps it, dissolving it in the wine. As the bottles are stored, they undergo a process known as riddling, invented by Madame Clicquot, in which they are rotated a small amount each day, so that the sediment collects in their necks and can be removed. A dosage, with a varying amount of additional sugar, is added, and the bottle is corked. The sweetest level is doux (meaning sweet) proceeding in order of increasing dryness to demi-sec (half-dry), sec (dry), extra sec (extra dry), and brut (almost completely dry). Thus an extra dry champagne is actually sweeter than one labeled brut. Some producers also make an extra brut or a wine with no added sugar.
The wine cannot legally be sold until it has aged in the bottle for at least one year, but the longer the better. Vintage champagnes are aged in cellars for 6 years or more.
The most technical wine
Most Champagne is non-vintage, a blend of wines from several years. Typically the majority of the wine is from the current year but a percentage is made of "reserve wine" from previous years. This serves to smooth out some of the vintage variations caused by the marginal growing climate in Champagne. Most champagne houses strive for a consistent "house style" from year to year, and this is the hardest task of the winemaker. Good-quality vintage Champagnes are the product of a single high-quality year, and bottles from prestigious makers can be rare and expensive. The most expensive of these are the prestige cuvées, or tête de cuvées, a class created by Moet et Chandon's Dom Perignon (wine). Others include:Champagne is now fermented in two different bottle formats, standard bottle (750 ml), and Magnum (1.5 l). In general, magnums are thought to be higher quality, as there is less oxygen in the bottle, and the volume to surface area favors the creation of appropriately-sized bubbles. However, there is no hard evidence for this view. Other bottle sizes, named for Biblical figures, are generally filled with Champagne that has been fermented in standard bottles or magnums. The smallest size varies: a "quarter bottle", "split", or "piccolo bottle" generally contains 187 ml or more rarely 200 ml. The "half-bottle" size is 375 ml. Jeroboam (3 l), Rehoboam (4.5 l), Methuselah (6 l), Salmanazar (9 l), Balthazar (12 l), Nebuchadnezzar (15 l), Melchior (18 l) and Sovereign (25 l). Sizes larger than Jeroboam are rare. The same names are used for bottles containing wine and port, however up to Methuselah they refer to different bottle volumes.
- Veuve Clicquot's Grande Dame
- Louis Roederer's Cristal
- Laurent Perrier's Grande Ciecle
- Pol Roger's Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill
- Taittinger's Comtes de Champagne
- and many more. This is a very profitable category.

How to open the bottle ?
Champagne consumption is particularly associated with celebration, and is usually consumed before a meal, on its own or with light food. Opening the bottle is a part of the celebration, but should be done without any risk to the revelers.Remove the foil, undo the wire cage without removing it, grasp the cork and the cage firmly with your hand, then turn the bottle itself by holding it at the base, the cork will come out of its own accord... The desired effect is to ease the cork out with a satisfying pop rather than to vulgarly shoot the cork across the room or produce a fountain of foamy wine.
The deliberate spraying of champagne has become an integral part of the presentation of trophies to the top three placegetters in auto racing or the locker room celebrations in other sports, though many wine enthusiasts cringe at the wastage of usually very expensive champagne in such a manner.
Origins
Wines from the Champagne region were already known in medieval times and before. Churches owned vineyards, and monks produced wine for use in the sacrament of Communion. French kings were traditionally anointed in Reims. Champagne wine flowed in festivities.Kings appreciated the wine, a still, light and crisp wine, and offered it as an homage to other monarchs in Europe. In the 17th century, wine of Champagne were the chosen wines for celebration in European countries. But it was not a sparkling wine. English people were the biggest consumers of Champagne wines, and drank a lot of sparkling wines.
The first commercial sparkling wine was produced in the Limoux area of France about 1535. They did not invent it, nobody knows who first made it, although the British make a reasonably good claim. A lot of people love to add sugar to their wine: the excess sugar produces further fermentation and results in sparkling wines.
Somewhere in the end of the 17th century, the sparkling method was imported in the Champagne region, associated with specific procedures for production (smooth pressing, dosage...), and stronger bottles (invented in England) that could hold the added pressure. In about 1700, sparkling champagne was born.
English people have loved the new sparkling wine, and spread it all other the world. Brut champagne, the modern champagne, was created for the British in 1876. The Russian royalty also consumed huge quantities.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | STORY, n. A narrative, commonly untrue. The truth of the stories here following has, however, not been successfully impeached. One evening Mr. Rudolph Block, of New York, found himself seated at dinner alongside Mr. Percival Pollard, the distinguished critic. "Mr. Pollard," said he, "my book, The Biography of a Dead Cow, is published anonymously, but you can hardly be ignorant of its authorship. Yet in reviewing it you speak of it as the work of the Idiot of the Century. Do you think that fair criticism?" "I am very sorry, sir," replied the critic, amiably, "but it did not occur to me that you really might not wish the public to know who wrote it." Mr. W.C. Morrow, who used to live in San Jose, California, was addicted to writing ghost stories which made the reader feel as if a stream of lizards, fresh from the ice, were streaking it up his back and hiding in his hair. San Jose was at that time believed to be haunted by the visible spirit of a noted bandit named Vasquez, who had been hanged there. The town was not very well lighted, and it is putting it mildly to say that San Jose was reluctant to be out o' nights. One particularly dark night two gentlemen were abroad in the loneliest spot within the city limits, talking loudly to keep up their courage, when they came upon Mr. J.J. Owen, a well-known journalist. "Why, Owen," said one, "what brings you here on such a night as this? You told me that this is one of Vasquez' favorite haunts! And you are a believer. Aren't you afraid to be out?" "My dear fellow," the journalist replied with a drear autumnal cadence in his speech, like the moan of a leaf-laden wind, "I am afraid to be in. I have one of Will Morrow's stories in my pocket and I don't dare to go where there is light enough to read it." Rear-Admiral Schley and Representative Charles F. Joy were standing near the Peace Monument, in Washington, discussing the question, Is success a failure? Mr. Joy suddenly broke off in the middle of an eloquent sentence, exclaiming: "Hello! I've heard that band before. Santlemann's, I think." "I don't hear any band," said Schley. "Come to think, I don't either," said Joy; "but I see General Miles coming down the avenue, and that pageant always affects me in the same way as a brass band. One has to scrutinize one's impressions pretty closely, or one will mistake their origin." While the Admiral was digesting this hasty meal of philosophy General Miles passed in review, a spectacle of impressive dignity. When the tail of the seeming procession had passed and the two observers had recovered from the transient blindness caused by its effulgence -- "He seems to be enjoying himself," said the Admiral. "There is nothing," assented Joy, thoughtfully, "that he enjoys one-half so well." The illustrious statesman, Champ Clark, once lived about a mile from the village of Jebigue, in Missouri. One day he rode into town on a favorite mule, and, hitching the beast on the sunny side of a street, in front of a saloon, he went inside in his character of teetotaler, to apprise the barkeeper that wine is a mocker. It was a dreadfully hot day. Pretty soon a neighbor came in and seeing Clark, said: "Champ, it is not right to leave that mule out there in the sun. He'll roast, sure! -- he was smoking as I passed him." "O, he's all right," said Clark, lightly; "he's an inveterate smoker." The neighbor took a lemonade, but shook his head and repeated that it was not right. He was a conspirator. There had been a fire the night before: a stable just around the corner had burned and a number of horses had put on their immortality, among them a young colt, which was roasted to a rich nut-brown. Some of the boys had turned Mr. Clark's mule loose and substituted the mortal part of the colt. Presently another man entered the saloon. "For mercy's sake!" he said, taking it with sugar, "do remove that mule, barkeeper: it smells." "Yes," interposed Clark, "that animal has the best nose in Missouri. But if he doesn't mind, you shouldn't." In the course of human events Mr. Clark went out, and there, apparently, lay the incinerated and shrunken remains of his charger. The boys idd not have any fun out of Mr. Clarke, who looked at the body and, with the non-committal expression to which he owes so much of his political preferment, went away. But walking home late that night he saw his mule standing silent and solemn by the wayside in the misty moonlight. Mentioning the name of Helen Blazes with uncommon emphasis, Mr. Clark took the back track as hard as ever he could hook it, and passed the night in town. General H.H. Wotherspoon, president of the Army War College, has a pet rib-nosed baboon, an animal of uncommon intelligence but imperfectly beautiful. Returning to his apartment one evening, the General was surprised and pained to find Adam (for so the creature is named, the general being a Darwinian) sitting up for him and wearing his master's best uniform coat, epaulettes and all. "You confounded remote ancestor!" thundered the great strategist, "what do you mean by being out of bed after naps? -- and with my coat on!" Adam rose and with a reproachful look got down on all fours in the manner of his kind and, scuffling across the room to a table, returned with a visiting-card: General Barry had called and, judging by an empty champagne bottle and several cigar-stumps, had been hospitably entertained while waiting. The general apologized to his faithful progenitor and retired. The next day he met General Barry, who said: "Spoon, old man, when leaving you last evening I forgot to ask you about those excellent cigars. Where did you get them?" General Wotherspoon did not deign to reply, but walked away. "Pardon me, please," said Barry, moving after him; "I was joking of course. Why, I knew it was not you before I had been in the room fifteen minutes." |
