Every year, the 4th Friday in October honors one of the most emblematic beverages of luxury, refinement and celebration: Champagne! A festive day that puts the spotlight on this
wine with fine bubbles
that has conquered the world for its elegance and, above all, its unique taste.
The origin
Since 2013, thanks to California-born blogger Chris Oggenfus, Champagne Day has been born on social networks and celebrated every year around the world. The aim is simply to showcase champagne. Over the years, this has grown to become the annual event for Champagne lovers the world over.
The history of champagne dates back to the Middle Ages, when Benedictine monks, in particular Dom Pérignon, played a key role in improving wine quality and mastering bottle fermentation. This was the starting point for Champagne’s international renown.
The Champagne-Ardenne region is the birthplace of this sparkling beverage, with unique terroirs that give rise to special grapes thanks to three main grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
Enjoy it for a week at Twil!
