When I started French Wine Tutor last July, the top questions I received all led back to the Champagne region\u2014and with good reason. Used as a bargaining chip and a battle ground in a variety of world wars, the Champagne region is home to some bizarre names that simply don\u2019t fall into the French language (or any known language, for that matter). With Dutch, Flemish, English, French, German, and Swiss names all coming into the mix, it\u2019s hardly a surprise that both wine consumer and professional alike struggle with pronunciations in this region.<\/p>\n

2020 might not be the year for big, in-person Christmas parties, but it\u2019s definitely going to be the year for large-scale Zoom ones. And there\u2019s no doubt that a question you\u2019re bound to be asked on these calls is, \u201cWell, what are you drinking?\u201d<\/strong> If you\u2019re opening a bottle from the Taittinger collection, why not show off your newly perfected French pronunciation? It\u2019s a party trick I\u2019ve personally found great use for.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start at the very beginning, shall we?<\/p>\n

Champagne Taittinger Pronunciation Guide<\/h1>\n

“Champagne Taittinger<\/a>“<\/h2>\n\nhttps:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Champagne-Taittinger.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\n

 <\/p>\n

The original pronunciation for the word \u201cchampagne\u201d is actually SHAH-M-PAHN-YUH.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sorry, what?! <\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, you read that right! Even the English pronunciation of Champagne as we know it is incongruent with the way the French pronounce it (cue shocked emoji face here). The reason for this is because the last syllable is darn tricky. In French, a combination of the letters -GNE at the end of a word actually makes the YUH <\/strong>sound. We see this in other French wine regions too, like BOURGOGNE. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, about the name of the Champagne house in question\u2014TAITTINGER |<\/strong> TAY-TAHN-JAY. <\/strong>The original name has origins in 17th century Austria, but the family has been in France since the 1640s.1<\/sup> To honor the house, the best way to pronounce would be the classical French pronunciation, and the trickiest part about that is the darn nasal in the middle.<\/p>\n

Listen again:<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Champagne-Taittinger.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\n

 <\/p>\n

In French, when a vowel is followed by an M or an N, it results in a nasal sound. This sound masks the M or N in the area between your nose and the back of your throat, and combines it with the vowels that come before it. Nasals take a while to get the hang of, so the key here is practice!<\/p>\n

Ok, now that we\u2019ve got that down, let\u2019s move on to another important word in the champagne world, BRUT. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0“Brut”<\/h2>\nhttps:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Brut.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, I know what you\u2019re thinking. \u201cEverything I\u2019ve read about French is that the final Ts and sometimes other consonants are always silent! Why is the T on brut pronounced?!\u201d <\/em>The simple answer is that the French language is infamous in that it has both many rules and many exceptions to rules. Brut is a short word, so the T is pronounced. Other examples of this are the words \u201csept\u201d (seven), \u201couest\u201d (west), \u201cpat\u201d (stalemate), and many others. (Of course\u2026there are exceptions to the exception rule.. but let\u2019s just keep things simple\u2026)<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve mastered the basics, let\u2019s get down to the cuv\u00e9e names!<\/p>\n

“Champagne Taittinger Brut La Fran\u00e7aise<\/a>“<\/h2>\nhttps:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Champagne-Taittinger-Brut-La-Francaise.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\n

 <\/p>\n

If I were to write out this cuv\u00e9e name somewhat more phonetically, I\u2019d say LAH FRAW-SEYS. <\/strong>Literally meaning \u201cThe French Girl\u201d or \u201cThe French Woman\u201d, it\u2019s a cuv\u00e9e that is emblematic of the best of French champagnes: soft, complex, well-rounded, and ages well.<\/p>\n

“Champage Taittinger Brut Folies de la Marquetterie<\/a>“<\/h2>\nhttps:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Folies-de-la-MARQUETTERIE.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be the first to admit this one is a bit of a doozy! A follower asked me this on Instagram several months ago and I had to do a double take. When translated directly, it means \u201cMarquetry Madness\u201d or \u201cMarquetry Follies,\u201d and was inspired by the beauty of small scale, detailed carpentry. If there\u2019s one thing we can all appreciate about Champagne it\u2019s the commitment to detail\u2014like marquetry\u2014so the descriptor describes the wine inside as much as it does the carpentry that inspired it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, an easy one! (Right? \u2026right?) I think we can all say ros\u00e9 correctly, and thankfully, the word \u201cPrestige\u201d is essentially pronounced the same in English as it is in French. So if you want to show off but know your French isn\u2019t amazing, this could be a great option, and the wine inside is as delicious as its name might suggest.<\/p>\n

“Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Blanc de Blancs<\/a>“<\/h2>\nhttps:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Comtes-de-Champagne-Grand-Cru-Blanc-de-Blancs.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anything worth having is worth fighting for a little bit, right? I\u2019ll be honest, this one is a little bit of a challenge. But wow, what a Champagne to pronounce correctly! Reputed for its elegancy, complexity, and velvety smoothness, this is definitely a wine that deserved to be opened after the year we\u2019ve all had. Let\u2019s get to it, shall we?<\/p>\n

First, the name of the Champagne: Comtes de Champagne. This word means \u201cCount\u201d. Unlike the other words, it\u2019s a bit tricky to spell phonetically as there are several silent letters and a nasal that is a bit more subtle than the others in this article. Essentially, the word is KAW-M<\/strong>. The T, E, and S are all silent.<\/p>\n

Placing the difficulty of the word \u201cComtes\u201d aside, I\u2019ll go out on a limb here and say the craziest combination you\u2019re reading in this article is probably the fact that when Blanc de Blancs is pronounced out loud, both the Cs and the S are silent!<\/p>\n

\"Champagne<\/p>\n

“Blanc de Blancs”<\/h2>\nhttps:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blanc-de-Blancs.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\n

 <\/p>\n

The result is three words that sound a bit like: BLAW DEU BLAW. <\/strong>You probably think I\u2019m crazy, but if you hear a French person say this term, those last few letters will be invisible. Say it out loud, it\u2019s fun and great practice! Now the next time your Aunt Karen tries to show off at a family gathering and pronounces this incorrectly, you can politely (or impolitely, if that\u2019s your family dynamic) correct her.<\/p>\n

No matter how you\u2019re celebrating this year, opening a few bottles of Champange with friends and family over Zoom certainly can\u2019t be beat. The 2020 Holidays will certainly feel very different from previous years, but the beauty of the classics is they never go out of style<\/strong>, no matter what\u2019s going on in the world.<\/p>\n

Now that you know the correct pronunciation, test yourself with the Sparkling Wine Quiz.<\/a><\/em><\/h3>\n
