The French Vineyards of Champagne

Lying to the north-east of Paris, Champagne is a historic province. Famed for the self-entitled Champagne sparkling wine.

Champagne was not invented in this region, but Languedoc, in Southern France. However, it was quickly discovered that the climatic conditions in the Champagne region produced better wine than southern regions.

The most famous  French vineyards of Champagne are located on the chalky hills to the south-west of Reims region. An area home to some of the major Champagne producers, such as Taittinger, Moët & Chandon, and Perrier-Jouët. Due to tourism, many wine tours and tastings are available.

Lorraine

With amazing history, Lorraine remains a large tourist attraction in France. In particular, its geographical position has always generated controversy due to its proximity to Luxembourg and Germany. In fact, half of the inhabitants of this region speak French, and the other half, located to the east, speak German.

Despite the various benefits of this territory and its great tourist potential, wine is not one of the most important elements. Except for a small region in the border area with Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium, called Moselle Valley.

This valley, formed by the Moselle River, is one of the most important regions of white wine production. Many amazing French Vineyards live along the waters of the Moselle. “Moselle wine” is produced in three countries and is the heart of the wine industry in Luxembourg. The best, coming from French vineyards.

Many beautiful wineries are located in Moselle, Lorraine.
