This event is at master level, unique and one of a kind.

I invite you to get to know the diversity of grower Chardonnays of Champagne.

The Champagne region covers around 34,300 hectares today ( compared to 60'000 hects in 1865) and encompasses 319 villages, across 5 départements. Nearly 280,000 plots, tended by more than 16,000 growers, make up the area under vine in Champagne.

The Champagne wine-growing area extends across several large regions, with more than 150 km separating the furthest ones from each other, which is almost a 2 hours drive.

Four main wine-growing sub-regions make up the area under vine: Montagne de Reims, Marne Valley, Côte des Blancs and Côte des Bar.

The subsoils  (Chalk, hard and soft limestone, marl, clay, sand and slope wash) and the climate are very different in those four regions, so the Chardonnay is different within Champagne.
