Champagne, which is the only area authorised to produce the basic wines of Champagne, is located about 150 kilometres north-east of Paris and consists of 319 communes in five departments: Marne, Aube, Aisne, Haute-Marne and Seine-et-Marne, the latter two consisting only of very small vineyards.
Das Gebiet ist in 20 natürliche Regionen eingeteilt, die jeweils über ziemlich homogene Terroirs verfügen. Diese werden in sechs Grossregionen zusammengefasst: Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Côte des Blancs, Petit Morin et Grand Morin, Côte de Champagne und Côte de Bar.
