Montagne de Reims: Primary variety is PN
furthest north of the sub districts. the northern side has a unique microclimate that produces darker wines with bigger body. the southern side of the montagne produces deeper flavor, more finesse.
Vallée de la Marne: Primary Variety is PM due to frost prone vineyards, and PM breaks late and harvests early.
lots of easy drinking fruit
Cote des Blancs: Primary to exclusively CH due to the regions excessive chalky soil, contributing tons of acid, and complexity. Most sought after in all of Champagne.
Aube: Primary PN
This is the most southern sub district, and it produces ripe and fruity PN.
Cote De Sézanne: CH
Southwest of Cote des Blancs, lots of chardonnay but without the finesse. A little fruitier and musky at times.
