  • CHAMPAGNE Welcome Visitors
    © Lonely Planet Publications 354 Champagne CHAMPAGNE CHAMPAGNE Known in Roman times as Campania, meaning ‘plain’, Champagne is a largely agricultural region and is celebrated around the world for the sparkling wines that have been produced here for more than three centuries. According to French law, only bubbly originating from this region – grown in designated areas (now being expanded to meet growing demand), then aged and bottled according to the strictest of rules – can be labelled as Champagne. The production of this prestigious sparkling wine takes place mainly in two départements: Marne, whose metropolis is the ‘Coronation City’ of Reims, and the less prestigious (though increasingly respected) Aube, whose préfecture (departmental capital) is the ancient and picturesque city of Troyes, home to several exceptional museums and entire streets lined with half-timbered houses. The town of Épernay, 30km to the south of Reims, is the de facto capital of Champagne (the drink, that is) and is the best place to head for dégustation (tasting session). The Champagne Route wends its way through the region’s diverse vineyards, taking visitors from one picturesque – and prosperous – wine-growing village to the next. A number of name-brand maisons (literally ‘houses’, meaning Champagne producers) have achieved international renown, but much of the region’s liquid gold is made by almost 5000 small- scale vignerons (wine makers) in 320-odd villages, many of whose family-run facilities welcome visitors.
