The designation ‘Appellation d’origine contrôlée’ (AOC) Champagne is exclusively reserved for sparkling wines produced in this particular viticultural area, using methods strictly defined by law. Champagne is traditionally made from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Munier grapes, and most of it is produced as a non-vintage sparkling wine, which tends to be less expensive than vintage Champagne.
