Champagne is made not in one or ten wines, but from as many as 60 wines. They've been based on two red grapes and one white - pinot meunier, pinot noir and chardonnay. Most Champagnes have minimal amounts of Pinot Boutique, compared to another two grapes. Every blend usually contains only 5% to 20% of pinot meunier. There are quite a lot of Champagnes who even do away with pinot meunier.

The wineries blend their plumped for grapes until a selection of wines are done. The spectral range of flavors and textures starts from light-bodied Champagnes to full-bodied ones. The former types usually are characterized with acidity that is fine and citrusy and flavors that are delicate and also creamy. The latter types have dense textures with hints of custard and have toasty, vanilla flavors.

Some wine drinkers who love spiky, light and vibrant Champagnes with plenty of zing will find the fuller styles too much. In the same way, people who love toasty, rich and creamy Champagnes will be unsatisfied with lighter Champagnes.

Every Champagne maker blends grapes in a way he will produce exactly the same taste and style annually. Champagne houses that make full-bodied styles frequently make use of a larger percentage of pinot noir grapes and rely on vintners well-known for yielding fuller-bodied wines. Houses that concoct lighter styles use more of the white grapes and depend on vineyards that produce delicate wines. However, it should be remembered that the lightness or fullness refers to the human body of the wine and not, by any means, implies its sweetness.
