In the heart of the Côte des Bar, the Maison de Vignerons Chassenay d'Arce brings together 130 families of winegrowers who work the vines and produce wines of character in the pure Champagne tradition. Since the founding of the House in 1956 by five winegrowers, its spirit has not changed and is still marked by cooperation, solidarity and the transmission of knowledge.
The House's 315 hectares of vines flourish in the heart of the Côte des Bar, spread over 14 villages along the Arce river, in the south of Champagne, near Burgundy.
7.7 hectares of vines are certified in organic farming, 71% of farms are certified Engaged Winegrowers and 48% HVE (High Environmental Value) and VDC (Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne). Surfaces that continue to progress.
This concern for the environment is also reflected in new eco-design initiatives:
- shorter caps for the benefit of a visual refinement of the bottle
- distribution of all bottles in 100% recycled kraft boxes, marked with a color using water-based ink and made up of a single pider to reduce the volume of waste
- the end of the marketing of its champagne bottles in cases, with the exception of the Confidential vintages which keep boxes, made from 100% recyclable and reusable mono-material to mark the excellence of these vintages.
If the dominant grape variety is Pinot Noir, winegrowers also grow Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and, more rarely, Pinot Blanc. A persity that allows them to offer vintages with very varied personalities.
Alcohol abuse is dangerous for health. To consume with moderation.
