France

The most popular region for sparkling wine in France, and probably the world, is the Champagne
region. Its light has shone so bright for so many years that it has left the other French regions
that produce sparkling wine in the shade. However, increased quality and enterprise in the regions
has resulted in a changed situation and it is this area of change that this website seeks to explore.
The French regions of interest, in alphabetic order are:

• Alsace


• Bordeaux


• Bugey


• Burgundy


• Gaillac


• Jura


• Languedoc


• Loire


• Die


• Savoie
