Champagne has some of the most heavily branded wines, such as Möet & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Taittinger and Lanson. ![]() Most producers will also offer a range of wines that can include vintage (produced every three to four years) blanc de blancs (from chardonnay grapes), rosé, brut nature (completely dry) and a luxury cuvée (such as Roederer Cristal, Bollinger RD). Most champagne is non-vintage (or NV) and is a blend of several vintages. Home to most of the world’s great sparkling wines, champagne is made from chardonnay, pinot noir or pinot meunier, or a blend of these varieties. Both regions can offer good value for money. Both north and south produce excellent white wines too. The red wines of the northern Rhône, made from syrah (or shiraz), tend to be more elegant. Wines from the southern part of the Rhône are typically medium- to full-bodied, smooth, warming reds made from a blend of grape varieties. Well-known names include muscadet, sancerre and chinon, made from melon de Bourgogne, sauvignon blanc and cabernet Franc respectively. As the climate is generally relatively cool, the wines tend to be light and refreshing. The river Loire is the longest in France, and the many regions that line its banks make every possible style of wine, including sparkling, white, rosé, red and sweet. ![]() The neighbouring region of Beaujolais produces light, fruit-filled wines from the gamay grape. Lesser names, including Mâcon and Bourgogne rouge, are more affordable. The best names, such as Meursault and Gevrey-Chambertin, tend to be very expensive. Much smaller than Bordeaux, Burgundy produces some of the world’s great white wines, made from the chardonnay grape, and some equally good silky red wines from the pinot noir grape. Bordeaux has a relatively cool climate, so the wines tend to be medium-bodied with elegant fruits. The red grapes include cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc the main white varieties, for both dry and sweet wine, are sauvignon blanc, sémillon and muscadelle.

After every harvest, he leads a small caravan containing the pressed juice and grapes across Nevada back to Salt Lake City to finish. He estimates that 99.2% of the wine he produces is made from grapes he harvests in California. He applied and was accepted without even visiting the campus.įifteen years after college, he’s still in Utah, making wine in a tiny urban winery. He probably wouldn’t have ended up in Utah if the Winter Olympics hadn’t been scheduled there for 2002, alerting his high school guidance counselor to the city’s existence. He’s what most would call religious, but he uses the word "spiritual." He resides in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he moved to attend the University of Utah in 2001, not so much to go to college, but to ski.
