FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Champagne Tsarine Champagne
What is the difference between Champagne and sparkling wine?
Only sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France, under strict appellation rules and by the traditional method of second fermentation in the bottle (méthode champenoise), may be called Champagne. Every Champagne is a sparkling wine, but not every sparkling wine is Champagne. Champagne Tsarine wines are true French Champagnes.
Where can I buy Champagne Tsarine Champagne in Hungary?
The official Hungarian representative of Champagne Tsarine is Energy4U Kft. The Champagnes can be ordered online from the champagneforyou.hu shop and bought and tasted in person at the Belle Époque Bar & Boutique in Kecskemét.
What do brut, extra brut, demi-sec and zero dosage mean?
They indicate the sugar content (dosage): brut nature / zero dosage 0–3 g/l, extra brut 0–6 g/l, brut up to 12 g/l (dry), extra dry 12–17 g/l, sec 17–32 g/l, demi-sec (medium-sweet) 32–50 g/l, doux over 50 g/l (sweet).
Which Champagne Tsarine Champagne should I choose as a gift?
The prestige cuvée Tzarina, in the house's iconic bottle, is the most festive choice; the limited Précision N°15 and the 30th-anniversary Zéro Dosage Rosé in a gift box are special for collectors too. Brut and Extra Brut come in gift boxes, and Précision is available as a magnum in a gift box.
How should I serve Champagne?
Serve Champagne at 8–10 °C, vintage and mature Champagnes at 10–12 °C. An ice bucket with ice and water chills a bottle in 20–30 minutes. A tulip-shaped or white-wine glass shows the aromas better than a narrow flute; open the bottle quietly, holding it at an angle.
Can I attend a Champagne tasting?
Yes: at the Belle Époque Bar & Boutique in Kecskemét you can taste the Champagne Tsarine range with an expert host. We also host corporate Champagne tastings – for team events, partner meetings and client events. Contact us via the contact page to book.
