Vineyards and Winegrowers
This generous region, between Burgundy and Champagne, lends itself well to the cultivation of vines, which have been cultivated for a very long time, and the wine made from them has a great reputation, since it was found on the tables of most of the European royalty, thanks in particular to the publicity given to it by the Chevalier d'Éon.
