Salmon Champagne is celebrating its 50 years anniversary. Vine grower from father to son, grapes composing Salmon Champagne are exclusively coming from our vineyards.
Located in the middle of the Ardre valley, known for its Romanesque churches and its luxuriant hillsides, Chaumuzy is a charming little village. Here, wine tradition is very old, since in 853, writings state that the bishop of Laon was already advising the archi-bishop of Reims to cure himself with wine from our vineyards. “You should drink a good-balanced wine, not too strong, not too smooth; choose the one which is made with the vines around Chaumuzy, rather than the ones from the top of Reims hill, or from the bottom of valleys…” Even if centuries have gone by since that time, we are still producing same high quality cuvées, made with grapes from our vineyards, according to the same respect of tradition, passed on by our forefathers. Indeed, even if it’s only in 1958 that Michel founded Salmon Champagne house, vine growing knowledge has been achieved from generation to generation of vine growers from Champagne. Nowadays, Olivier is running 10 hectares of vineyards, and he is elaborating his Champagne with passion, for our pleasure.
