[edit] Grapes allowed in Champagne

The site states that currently three grapes are allowed in Champagne: chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier. However, the article also states that up to five other varietals may be used. Despite a tonne of research I have been unable to find a source to back this up, or what the varietals may be. If we could find a source for this, as well as list what the other grape varietals are, that would be fantastic. ahbiteme 07:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
