While Champagne is the most famous region for sparkling wine, many other regions around the world produce high-quality sparkling wines using the traditional method, also known as the méthode champenoise.
One of the most famous of these regions is the Franciacorta region in Italy, which produces a range of high-quality sparkling wines using Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Blanc grape varieties. Franciacorta wines are known for their crisp acidity, fine bubbles, and complex flavours.
In Spain, the Cava region produces sparkling wines made primarily from the Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel-lo grape varieties. Cava wines are known for their crisp acidity, citrus flavours, and minerality.
In Germany, the Sekt region produces sparkling wines made from a variety of grape varieties, including Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Noir. German Sekt wines are known for their crisp acidity, fine bubbles, and fruit-forward flavours.
In the United States, the Napa Valley region in California produces high-quality sparkling wines using Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varieties. These wines are known for their rich, complex flavuors and aromas, with notes of citrus, apple, and toast.
Other regions around the world that produce high-quality sparkling wines include the Loire Valley in France, Tasmania in Australia, and the South of England.

Decanter (95)A very impressive, impeccably made wine with everything in its place. It has crisp acidity, some sweetness to the patisserie, cream, bruised apple and white pear flavours, and a generous texture. Vibrant, racy and tense, there's lots more to come from this. |

Vinous (93)The 2016 Blanc de Noirs is aged for 36 months in bottle with a dosage of 3g/L. It has a burnished silvery hue. The well-delineated nose is an absolute delight, presenting scents of orange pith, brioche, toasted pine nuts and a hint of white peach in the background. The palate is well poised with a light walnut opening, quite saline in the mouth and precise toward the finish; a touch of blackberry appears on the aftertaste. Impressive energy and sophistication are clear to see in what might be one of England's best Blanc de Noirs. Highly recommended. |
