Yields

Did you know?

The marketable yield for Champagne, meaning the quantity of grapes destined for sparkling wine production, is set by the joint body of Growers and Champagne Houses in line with sales forecasts, but capped at 15,500 kg/ha for AOC production.

Leclerc Briant

This House started out as a winery in Cumières before relocating to its present premises in Epernay in 1955. It was founded in 1872 by Lucien Leclerc whose great grandson Bertrand and his wife Jacqueline Briant combined their surnames to create a new one for their business. The House has now embarked on a new chapter following its acquisition in 2012 by Mark Nunnelly and Denise Dupré, an American couple with a passion for the French art de vivre.
