Coteaux Champenois AOC

Encyclopedia : C : CO : COT : Coteaux Champenois AOC

Coteaux Champenois is a wine Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) in the Champagne province of France. It covers the same area as sparkling Champagne production, but covers only still wines.

The grapes are the same as those allowed for sparkling Champagne: pinot noir and pinot meunier for red wines, and chardonnay for whites. Rosé wines are made very rarely. Like sparkling Champagne, most wines are non-vintage. Production is small, especially in vintages where yields are low, given the high demand for Champagne.
