Champagne

The vineyards of Champagne, stretching 150 km east of Paris, challenge the extreme conditions of the northern climate. Situated at the 49th parallel north, the grapes are cultivated with the help of the ocean's influence, which moderates the temperatures, and the extraordinary skills of the vignerons.

Average temperatures, just above 10°C, promote the slow ripening of the grapes, preserving their natural acidity. Despite the humid climate and frequent spring frosts, the region produces ideal grapes for Champagne, thanks to soils rich in chalk and other mineral components. The vineyards, spread over diverse terrains, extend across hills and plains, capturing the essence of the Mistral wind and the few hours of available sunlight.

Montagne de Reims

In the Montagne de Reims, we find a subsoil of chalk with layers of clay and lignite. Here, Pinot Noir expresses all its power in freshness, releasing scents of extraordinary elegance, with notes of currant and spices. Numerous houses, including Roederer, draw from these soils to create prestigious cuvées and vintage champagnes of great value, maintaining a centuries-old tradition in sparkling wine production.

In the area, nine villages boast the classification of Grand Cru:

Louvois,
Bouzy,
Ambonnay,
Verzy,
Verzenay,
Mailly-Champagne,
Beaumont-sur-Vesle,
Sillery,
Puisieulx.
Pinot Noir expressing all its power.
