Champagne Chassenay, exclusive partner of the We’re Smart Awards Show & Events 2023
Chassenay d’Arce champagnes are an expression of the specific terroir of the Côte des Bar and its Kimmeridgian soil that was once covered by the sea. As the seasons pass, the vine trunks grow, the clusters take on color and the vintages are developed…
The Arce Valley is located at the southern end of Champagne, close to Burgundy. The mild climate, the grapevines’ exposure and the types of soils (here, the roots of our vine stock digs into stony marl) allow us to harvest the fruit at full maturity towards the end of summer.
The dominant variety in this region is Pinot Noir. We also grow Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Blanc, the old Champagne variety. This diversity allows us to produce wines with a wide array of personalities.
All year long, each trunk is pampered and shaped to ensure it gives the best of itself and the most generous grapes.
