This unique terroir fosters the expression of the grape varieties, particularly Chardonnay, which thrives in these conditions. The Champagne climate, with its mild summers and cold winters, contributes to the slow ripening of the grapes, guaranteeing balanced acidity and intense aromas. Each plot is cultivated with care, respecting the environment and promoting biodiversity.
