Distinctives attributes A delicate vinegar with fresh and fruity notes, made with chardonnay vinegar aged 12 months in oak casks and vinegar from the Champagne-Ardenne region. The "champagne" name is protected by a designation of origin (PDO). Producers can use the name on their labels on the condition that their products include a certain percentage of champagne from France's Champagne region. This vinegar is crafted according to a method invented in 1823 by German chemist Schützenbach. Unlike most commercial vinegars, it undergoes a long aging process. Ten times slower than usual industrial techniques, the Schützenbach method consists in exposing the alcohol to the air as much as possible by circulating the vinegar in various sections of a large tank. The greater contact area between air and alcohol intensifies the transformation of alcohol to vinegar by bacteria. This method allows the vinegar to better retain the flavours and aromas of the base wine, while also imparting a mellower taste.
