The distinction primarily lies in the grape varieties used and their origin. The grapes for Crémant are not grown on the famous chalky soils of the Champagne region, which generally gives Champagne a fresher and more intense taste than Crémant. This unique Champagne terroir significantly contributes to the liveliness and complexity of wines from that region.
