Coteaux Champenois: Champagne’s next big thing or still a work in progress?

There are two Champagnes: Le Champagne, the sparkling wine, and La Champagne, the region.

Le Champagne is known the world over, but La Champagne, and indeed the strictly delimited vine-growing area called La Champagne Viticole, doesn’t just produce bubbles.

Any grapes grown in the Champagne vine-growing area can be used to produce still wine, too. These wines are labelled as Coteaux Champenois.
