Notes from the Producer: The specificity and the quality of our champagne begin from a qualitative approach in the vinyards. It is the terroir that expresses the specificity and the particularity by combining different elements like climate, exposition, geographical localisation and human factors. The vineyard is managed by combining the qualitative work of the soil and permanent grassing. We apply the plant protection products for the protection of the vines at low dose, only if it is necessary with a reasoned approach and sustainable approach.
