As a region, Champagne is divided into five areas of production: the Aube, Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, Montagne de Reims, and Vallée de la Marne, in which Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier are grown for the production of the region's signature wine.
Compared with the rest of the world's successful wine-producing regions, Champagne lies the furthest from the equator, at 49°N. Usually this would be considered too far to fully ripen grapes; however, Champagne's continental climate ripens the fruit early and provides the perfect balance of sugar and acidity for producing quality sparkling wines. The method used to give the otherwise thin, acidic still wine its sparkle is a fascinating one, known as the 'traditional' or 'Champagne method'.
Situated in the Village of Damery near Epernay on the edge of the river Marne, the 5th generation Casters family have been making excellent award winning Champagne in intimate quantities over a number of years.
Their ethos of maintaining high quality is reflected in their exclusive production of only a few thousand bottles, while also sticking to traditional methods passed down from generation to generation.
