When are champagne grapes in season?

Champagne grapes, specifically the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier varieties, are not technically in season in the same way that other fruits are.

Here's why:

* Champagne grapes are harvested in the fall: The harvest season typically runs from August to September.

* The grapes are then used to make wine: This process takes time, and the wine is aged for at least 15 months before it can be labeled as Champagne.

* Champagne is available year-round: While the harvest happens in the fall, the finished product is available throughout the year.

So, while the grapes themselves are only harvested during a specific time of year, you can enjoy Champagne at any point.
