Champagne & History
Champagne wine as we know it today is the result of a long history.
In 1908, the vineyards of Champagne were the first to receive an Appellation of Origin. Covering more than 90% in the territory of the Champagne-Ardenne region, its final contours were finalised in 1927 and extend over 35,000 hectares, divided into 260,000 plots in Marne, Aube and Haute-Marne.
