About
The classic three-grape blend of Champagne. Chardonnay brings finesse and acidity, Pinot Noir adds structure and red fruit depth, and Meunier contributes fruitiness and roundness. Most non-vintage Champagne uses all three in varying proportions.

Aging
Non-vintage: best within 3-5 years. Vintage Champagne can develop beautifully for 10-20+ years, gaining toasty, nutty complexity.
Growing regions
