Tasting of the vins clairs (still wines) is in full swing
The cellar masters and their teams taste the vins clairs from the previous harvest, tank by tank and barrel by barrel. This is skilled work that requires a memory of every wine with an eye to the eventual blend.
The Champagne month by month
Champagne, site of the first great, record-breaking experiences in flight, now enjoys an international reputation as the cradle of aviation. Much of the credit is owed to the Champagne Houses whose support for aviation dates back to the beginning of the twentieth century. As the sponsors of numerous awards and prizes, not to mention spectacular airshows, the Champagne Houses played a pivotal role in encouraging the exploits of early aviators.
Jean-Michel Grémillet has been making Champagne since 1979. His children Anne and Jean-Christophe have now taken up the baton and preside over the destiny of this House on the Côte des Bar.
