CHAMPAGNE, A UNIQUE APPELLATION CREATOR OF VALUE

The interprofessionnal reserve system was implemented to compensate for significant variations in yield from one year to the next one.

It takes into account the northern location of the Champagne vineyards and helps meet the regular supply needs of the markets.

The reserve wine allows to answer exceptio-nal requests or/and compensate when harvest failures occur.
