The AOC

5^th to
17^th centuries

Champagne wines became
known thanks to the coronation
of French kings in Reims
and the famous Champagne fairs.

18^th
century

At the end of the 17^th century,
the use of the bottle to transport
the wine (previously in casks)
led to appearance of bubbles:
this was the birth of
the Champagne method.

This sparkling “vin diable”
(the devil’s wine) quickly
found favour with European
monarchs and aristocrats,
becoming the symbol
of luxury and celebration.

Today

Champagne is synonymous
with parties, victory
and celebrations.
