Ratafia

Ratafia referred to in Champagne and Burgundy in a mixture of grape must and brandy, usually enjoyed as an aperitif, similar to the Pineau des Charentes. This Ratafias be referred to erroneously as part aperitifs based on wine, but this is not true because no fermentation of the grapes takes place. Here, the operation of Pineau des Charentes or Floc de Gascogne is comparable. The Ratafia from the Champagne is made from grape appellations " Champagne " or " Coteaux Champenois ' and neutral alcohol. Only the highest quality fine and Marc de Champagne will be used. In Burgundy, the Ratafia with Marc de Bourgogne and musts of the same origin is made.
