THE VINEYARD

The Côte des Bars is the most southern vineyard of the Champagne appellation. A region more previously identified with Burgundy than with Champagne, it is a natural extension of the vineyards producing the great wines of Chablis. Clay and limestone characterise the diverse soils and give their imprint on grapes such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc Vrai. All the vineyards are rooted on the sunny slopes in the Ource Valley in the heart of the village of Celles-sur-Ource, a microclimate that offers a variety of soils and unusual exposures. The vineyards have been certified in accordance with standards for sustainable viticulture and respect for the environment. Terroirs and grape varieties are vinified separately. The Réserve is based on a single vintage, a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Blanc. The average age of the vines is 30 years old, fruit is hand-harvested and the varieties are vinified separately.
