Recently I have been in Champagne, alone, and with a great desire to see what has changed, if any, in the production of the most famous bubbly wine in the world. The desire to see what was happening was so much and so I wanted to touch some Maisons, the more artisan ones and exchange technical information on the production of Champagne. I went to the Côte de Blanc in the Marne Valley and in the mountains of Reims, symbolic places, where I tried to gain direct experience of the technical but also philosophical novelties concerning this great sparkling wine of the world. I understood, as always happens, that the territory or rather the terroir always wins, where climate, soil and man make the difference. In fact, there are no big news, no new biotechnologies or new winemaking schemes: this has always been the case and a unique and inimitable product has always come out, period and that's it. Not that other parts of the world make lower quality products, but different ones do.
