Champagne Maps
Explore the Champagne Regions
Is it ‘Champagne’ or ‘champagne’? Both! Champagne is the place and champagne the delicious effervescent drink.
Always remember, champagne comes only from Champagne, France!
In 2018 Sally created a unique set of maps to illustrate the diversity of the Champagne appellation, collaborating closely with a cartographer to create la carte’-the cornerstone of the Sally Hillman Expérience. The aim of the maps is to demystify Champagne and make the appellation more understandable using a visual approach.
As you can see, Champagne is a not a single area of land, but rather a diverse and geographically scattered collection of growing regions, which is one of the reasons this fascinating wine has such complexity and character.
Each region has unique geographical features, micro-climates and soil types, known as terroir, and even when the same variety of grape is used, you will find the resulting champagnes differ greatly.
With each region distinctly colour-coded, the actual vineyards marked in a darker shade and smaller areas (“terroirs”) shown within each group, our cartography highlights the four main sub-regions within the official Champagne appellation;

Each of our carefully curated boutique grower champagnes tells a captivating story from soil to soul, vine to wine, making them the most perfect and complete gift for all champagne lovers.
It is with this in mind that with every bottle purchased, we always include Sally Hillman’s signature regional cartography in A4 size accompanied by our comprehensive tasting notes, which are complete with our recommended food and Lehmann glassware pairings.
As well as being attractive works of art, the Sally Hillman maps of the Champagne regions are educational guides, comprehensively and clearly articulating the different terroirs of Champagne.
