The Côte des Bar vineyard Our vineyard, whose origins go back to Gallo-Roman antiquity, is situated on the sunny slopes of the Côte des Bar in the southern part of the Champagne Region. In the XIIth century the emergence of the Cistercian movement at Clairvaux and Mores allowed a prosperous vineyard to be created using grape varieties from the Near East. The wine, an important resource for the monasteries, became Champagne in the early XVIIIth century and was known as "Saulte Bouchon" ("Cork Popper"). Until the end of the XIXth century the Champagne Method was a privilege of the nobility, who founded the great Champagne houses. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that some of the more daring winemakers, including the Moutard-Diligent family, became grower-producers and offered Champagnes which they made themselves. Mastery of all the stages from cultivating the vines to making the wine enables the winemaker to satisfy his thirst for perfection. |
