VINEYARD AND CHAMPAGNE

Villenauxe now has 104 hectares of vine classified as Champagne and is the southwestern end of the Marnese vineyard (Reims, Épernay). Despite this, we are far from the 300 winemakers in the early nineteenth century. Here, champagne almost fell into hiding because of phylloxera, at the beginning of the twentieth century. It took 1970 for the activity to resume. Beyond these bubbles, a Easter fair acts as a trade show with forks for the smallest, street shows, in a friendly atmosphere.
