Territorial meeting in Aÿ

Afterwork at Champagne Bollinger

A sparkling after-work event!

Our EPV Grand-Est Association and our President Sonia LINARD were welcomed by Maison Champagne Bollinger and Charles-Armand de Belenet on July 8 as part of our latest regional meeting.
We were right at the heart of excellence represented by this great French House founded in 1829, which embodies several centuries of tradition and expertise. We were given a passionate account of the history of the creation of Bollinger's vintage cuvée "La Grande Année 2015" - from the vine to the tasting of this sublime nectar.
Thank you for such a warm welcome and this fantastic tasting.
The Prefect of the Marne, Mr. Henri Prévost, at the invitation of Bollinger, honored us with his presence and once again demonstrated his commitment to the EPVs (Entreprises du Patrimoine Vivant, or Living Heritage Companies) of our region.
Thanks to Gaël Vuille, Director of Champagne Bollinger Vineyards, who introduced us to the House's unique expertise: old French vines; to Benoit Pernod, Director of Operations at Champagne Bollinger, who introduced us to the work of cooperage, riddling, disgorging, and hand-dressing; to the Director of Champagne Bollinger wines, Denis Bunner, who accompanied us on the tasting of this fabulous Cuvée; to Hermance Gilloire, CSR Project Manager at Champagne Bollinger, for organizing this event at your beautiful House.

We also had the opportunity to discover the work of two wonderful EPVs, Orfèvrerie d'Anjou - Christophe Dubois and ADAM - Matthias Demaitre, who support Bollinger in its product development.  

The EPV Champagne community and the four other certified houses were also present: Champagne Louis Roederer (Cédric Petit), Champagne Pol Roger (Baptiste Collard), Champagne GOSSET, and VRANKEN-POMMERY MONOPOLE (Baptiste Chazeaud). Jean-Pierre Cointreau, President of the Renaud-Cointreau Group, Champagne Gosset, took the floor to reiterate the importance of our commitment to the region and the challenge of raising awareness of our label among the general public.  

Jean de Limerville - LE BATIMENT ASSOCIE, Vice-President of our association and JEAN-PHILIPPE HERZOG - Vhm GROUPE - Victor Heinrich Molsheim, Treasurer of our association also shared this exceptionnal moment with many others local EPVs: TONNELLERIE DE CHAMPAGNE-ARDENNE
