I just loved the way everything is explained here. I would say short, crisp, to the point. I have just studied this process in the literature. But watching this seems like everything is presented in front of your eyes.
Hats off...🎉 Voilà..🙏

Opening my lecture tonight on Crémant with your video for my audience. This video is the most engaging explanation of wine production. Thank you

Thanks for explaining how the champagne is made. In fact, by the time the video is finished, I've already finished my glass of champagne. Normally, I'm a beer drinker, but on New Years Eve I usually drink champagne to mark the occasion. And unlike beer which is fermented once, champagne is fermented twice. Intriguing!
Well, in that case, Happy New Year, 2022!

Felicitations! Such a clear and perfectly explained video. It brought back happy memories of promoting Charles Heidsieck and Piper Heidsieck Champagnes in the 90s as the Account Director for their marketing agency. I needed to remind myself of the making process as I'm doing a talk in my village to our Rendezvous social group of francophiles!

Thank you- a fine presentation. I can’t afford it really so any time I have Champagne is a luxury, there’s nothing quite like the real thing!

Excellent video. That winery owner is pretty much exactly what every American thinks of when we think of a French guy 😂

Champagne is one of Humanity's best food or drink creations. The result of mankind's respect and appreciation for the Earth, the soil, the vine, human ingenuity, tradition, and celebration of life.

Well explained ! The machines for riddling, called Gyropalette®, makes sixteenths of a turn (quarter or eigth is riddling by hand).

Such a complex process ! Always tricky to explain, now it will be much more easier for me, thanks Elicite !

I can't find mention below, but even if the Champagne method may be called methode champenoise in Champagne, the same method is used for other sparkling wines, not least Cava.
Little is made of the dosage, which are actually closely guarded secrets for each vinyard/brand as it contributes substantially to the finished wine. Similarly, the blend of the permitted grapes has a huge effect on the final wine with the extremes being blanc de blanc and blanc de noirs.
Champagne was also traditionally a medium, or sweet wine. Dry - Brut, Extra Brut and Brut Nature - has always been available, but its popularity is very recent in the history of Champagne sparkling wine.

Champagne production is quite difficult to understand, but you provided a succinct explanation of an otherwise very complex procedure. Well done!
