Hi this is Dave for Expert Village today we're
going to discuss champagnes and sparkling
wines okay there's a couple of methods to
be making champagne and sparkling wines the
classic French technique and now all over
the world with great wine grapes is Metho
de Champ enoise the champagne method. And
basically what it is a blend of wines that
is that has a secondary fermentation as we
talked about Dom Perignon, pretty sophisticated
what they do they start with fine blended
wines in a bottle, and then they add yeast
to it and then recap it and it will start
a secondary fermentation. Which is going to
cause the carbon dioxide to create the bubbles
in the champagne, the better of course the
better the wine the better the champagne.
It's a long method and it's pain staking but
it's worth it for good champagnes. This is
the Freixenet Brut from Spain and it says
fermented on the bottle, that's basically
the same language as Metho de Champ enoise.
