The surprise effect"},"content":{"rendered":"
This practice was started by some sommeliers who tried to increase the sweetness of a “demi-sec” champagne<\/a> by reducing bubbling. Benefits of decanting champagnes are the reduction of the larger bubbles and a more agressive bubbling. That means that the best champagnes to be decanted are the younger, cheaper and non-vintage cuv\u00e9es<\/a>.
\nParis is still the city where this is most commonly done so, and this approach has spread throughout the world, and for almost all varieties, styles and ages of champagne.<\/p>\n
\nBut it is also important to mention that many more expensive and well-known champagnes can benefit from decanting, too.<\/p>\n
