Question: How many different grape varieties are permitted for use in Champagne?
Answer: NINE. This question was answered back on June 6, 2018 linked here as 6 varieties. However the authorization has expanded to 9 varieties with the inclusion of PINOT GRIS (FROMENTEAU), VOLTIS, & CHARDONNAY ROSE. The three key classic main grapes usually used continue to be CHARDONNAY, PINOT NOIR, & PINOT MEUNIER but presently very minor roles are played for ARBANNE, PETIT MESLIER & PINOT BLANC as well as the three new inclusions.
