Champagne
The Vallée de la Marne is a wine region of great importance in the production of Champagne, notable for its geographical and varietal diversity. Located west of Épernay, this valley extends along the Marne River and offers ideal conditions for viticulture thanks to its temperate climate and mixed chalk and clay soils. The area is particularly renowned for the cultivation of Pinot Meunier , a grape variety that adapts well to the cooler, more humid climate conditions of the valley, giving the Champagnes a lively fruitiness and approachable character. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are also present, contributing elegance and structure respectively to the unmistakable blends of this region. The producers of the Vallée de la Marne exploit the uniqueness of their terroir to create Champagnes that stand out for their rich aromatic palette and their fascinating complexity. With a long history of viticulture, this valley continues to be one of the most dynamic and innovative areas on the Champagne map.
