Champagne Chartogne Taillet à Merfy

New press evaluation (Fiacre Cuvee)

Le guide hachette, reference in France for the degustation of wine, wrote a good note about our Fiacre Champagne, and gave us one star.

We are happy to see that our champagne is appreciate.

It’s The Saint Vincent day !

Every year, and in each villages, the winegrowers celebrate their “Saint” : Saint Vincent.

Our ancesters used to do it, and pray for having a nice year and nice grapes for the next grape harvest.

Now, we are trying to keep this celebration, dont to forget the habits of our profession and to respect the traditions. 

It’s a nice time to be together, to speak about our work and our wineyard. (And also to dring a glass of champagne ...)

We were wearing some traditionnal costumes and walked in the villages (Really, it’s not the best costume to find a girl friend, dont try it, really ...)

Happy Saint Vincent to everybody !

Some pictures of the celebration :

   

Champagne and the statue of liberty

I just learned that Moët et Chandon had illuminated the statue of liberty for its 120 years birthday. 600 Moët’s important customers were invited to this event. It was certainly a very impressing spectacle !

I’m really sorry and present our excuses to all of our customers. Moët had the idea before us ! We dont want to copy Moët style, so we’ll not illuminate the Statue of freedom, but next time you’ll come at home, we could certainly prepare a small fire in our garden ?!?

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

For the 2007 year, we wish you all the best, health, happiness ....

In Champagne, this morning begun with a nice sun and some wind. I took a moment to celebrate the new year with the vines. A very pleasant moment, resting and calm.
