ABOUT SPARKLING BRUT FROM FRANCE
Sparkling wines were first documented in the Champagne region as early as the 16th century, although the process of creating the bubbles was not well understood at the time. It wasn't until the 17th century that the méthode champenoise (traditional method) was developed, largely attributed to the work of Benedictine monk Dom Pérignon, who refined the techniques to produce high-quality sparkling wines. The Champagne region's unique terroir and climate, along with its chalky soils, contributed to the distinctive characteristics of these wines. Over time, Champagne became synonymous with celebration and luxury, and Sparkling Brut, with its dry and crisp profile, emerged as one of the most popular styles. Today, Sparkling Brut from France continues to be revered for its elegance, complexity, and timeless appeal, enjoyed by wine enthusiasts around the world.
