Marc de Champagne is a brandy that is distilled from the grapes after they have been squeezed for wine-making. We know this brandy as 'Marc', a French word that is thought to refer to the press used to squeeze the grapes. In Italy, 'marc' is known as 'grappa', a name that will be familiar to many. Like any distilled spirit or brandy, Marc de Champagne has a more intense flavour than its lighter Champagne counterpart making it ideal for the rich, creamy ganache centre in our truffles.
