The Champagne region that created the “taste of the stars”
”There is no other province that offers good wine all year round except Champagne. In the spring it gives us Ayers, Avenay and Auvilaire; in other seasons it is Tessy, Verzenay and Sieri ” In 1674, the French essayist and gourmet Charles de Margatel praised champagne wine in a letter.
