Respecting the heritage
The terroir is the first component in the alchemy that goes into
making champagne. Maintaining this heritage is above all a question
of respecting the traditions that have made this terroir unique
in the world.
It is also about integrating new technical advances,
such as “viticulture raisonnée”, monitoring the
parcels,
and controlling vineyard health.
Without doubt, it is in the cellars that the continuity
of the great Champagne tradition is most keenly felt.
Along the 4 kilometres carved into the chalk of Avize,
the transformation of sugars into alcohol slowly
takes place until the miracle of effervescence occurs.
