A feast of the senses 
An elegant lifestyle Three centuries of genius The laws governing Champagne Wines with names The gift of effervescence A diversity of sensations Blending crus and years Gardeners of the vines An exceptionnal terroir
The labels on bottles of Champagne carry the names of the producers, alluding to their individual styles, personalities and traditions.
Who makes Champagne?
The making of Champagne is a story about men and women. The Champagne Houses
were the first to produce their own wines, either from their own vineyards or from grapes bought from the Growers. The Growers also produce wines from their grapes or they trust them to a cooperative, otherwise they sell their grapes to the Houses.
The cellar master
Whether he is the head of a House or a Grower, the cellar master is the architect of the wines of Champagne.
He is responsible for the choice of the grapes, the making and blending of the wines and their aging. His mission is to maintain the house style, working closely with the older generation - those ‘who know’ and with the next generation which he needs to train.
The cellar master is also responsible for the workers in the cellars who riddle the bottles on their stands, disgorge, cork and label the bottles.
