To give you a complete picture of the Champagne region, we visit both large champagne houses and small, independent growers. We taste both pinot meunier, blanc de blanc, blanc de noir, zéro dosage (the driest version of champagne) and more. And, perhaps most importantly of all, we give you the background on why different production methods, different grapes, different ageing times, etc. are chosen.
We also talk about sustainability, something that is close to the hearts of many producers here. We discuss what can be done to adapt to a changing climate and weather patterns. Will the acidity – so important for champagne – decrease if it gets warmer? How can they reduce spraying?
We gain insight into how people think today in Champagne and how they strive to preserve the unique champagne character.
