Champagne AOP

A

Champagne AOP
Département: Aube, Aisne, Marne, Haute-Marne, Seine-et-Marne
Communes of Production: 357 villages
Styles:
Vin Mousseux Blanc
Vin Mousseux Rosé (either saignée or blending prior to tirage is authorized)

Base Wine Statistics:
    Minimum Potential Alcohol: 9%
    Maximum Residual Sugar: 10 g/l
Tirage: 
    Secondary fermentation (prise de mousse) is accomplished in glass bottles
    Tirage may not occur until at least January 1 of the year following the harvest
    Volume of wine may not increase by more than 1.12% per 1% increase in alcohol during secondary fermentation
    Wines may not be disgorged until at least 12 months after the date of tirage
    Finished wines are marketed in the same bottle in which tirage occurred, except for bottle sizes with a volume smaller than 375 ml or larger than 3 liters.  For NV bottlings, up to 20% of 375 ml bottles may also be transferred into new bottles.
Liqueur d'Expédition: 
    The addition of liqueur d'expédition may not lead to an increase in volume of wine (expressed in percentage) higher than the sum of the percentage increase in alcoholic strength (multiplied by a coefficient of 1.266) and the grams per liter increase in sugar content (multiplied by a coefficient of 0.0666).  See the following formula:
    Volume of Wine (%) = (1.266 × Alcohol Percent Increase) + (0.0666 × Sugar Increase)
Vintage Dated Wines:
    Max. 80% of a year's harvest may be sold as vintage Champagne
    Vintage-dated wines must contain 100% of a stated vintage (with the exception of wine and products contained in the liqueur de tirage or the liqueur d'expédition)

Minimum Must Weight: 143 g/l
Minimum Planting Density: max. 2.5 square meters per vine

Maximum Yields (Rendement de Base): 10,400 kg/ha
Maximum Press Yield: 102 liters/160 kg (Additional pressed juice is rebêche, or the "end of pressing", and must account for 0-10% of the total.  This may only be used for distillation.)
AOC Established: 1936 (earlier protections date to 1919) (last updated 2010)

Q

NM (Négociant Manipulant)?

A

NM (Négociant Manipulant): A house that purchases grapes and or base wines from growers and other smaller houses. Some NM houses own a significant portion of their own vineyards; others own none at all. Large Champagne houses with the most international presence are invariably in this category: Moët et Chandon, Louis Roederer, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin, Billecart-Salmon, Lanson, Taittinger, Pol Roger, Perrier-Jouët, Mumm, and Laurent-Perrier. Quality varies widely, although prices are uniformly high. Many houses often fall under the same corporate parentage; for example, Moët et Chandon, Krug, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin, and Mercier fall under the umbrella of the luxury conglomerate LVMH.
