In this type of cool climate, the growing season is rarely warm enough to ripen grapes to the levels required for standard winemaking. Even in temperate years, Champagne grapes still carry the acidity characteristic of a marginal climate, and it was only the discovery of secondary fermentation that provided a style of wine capable of harnessing—and even embracing—this acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay are the main grape varieties used to produce Champagne.

This process involves a double fermentation: the first takes place in stainless steel vats and the second in the bottle, where sugar and yeast are added for natural fermentation. During maturation, the bottles are periodically rotated and tilted, a process known as \"remuage\", to ensure an even distribution of sediment.
