Let’s find out more.

2. History of French Champagne Industry Ripe for Investments
The French Champagne industry has a multi-century history that still stands strong today, with producers continually innovating in all areas from the grapes to the method.
Originally popularized in the 18th century, the traditional champagne process is still applied today. The grapes, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, are still picked and crushed, separated, and fermented. The process is then refined with aging, secondary fermentation, and blending. The grapes are also carefully chosen to match the classic flavor profile.
- The region around the city of Reims is where the Chardonnay grape is grown and can only be used in the making of champagne.
- The nearby cities of Aÿ and Épernay grow the Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, respectively.
The vineyards are meticulously maintained and monitored, with techniques to maximize efficiency and potential in both production and operations. The Champagne region also has an abundance of natural resources and a perfect climate for growing and harvesting the grapes, making investments particularly attractive.
