Cellar
Founded by 5 pioneers in 1956 in Ville-sur-Arce, today 130 families and 3 generations of winegrowers make up the Maison Chassenay d'Arce. The same spirit of cooperation, solidarity and knowledge transmission still holds true. At the heart of the Côte des Bar, the Chassenay d'Arce vineyard covers 315 hectares and 14 villages spread out along the Arce river. Characterised by a unique landscape that alternates between vineyards and forests, it is also characterised by the diversity of our grape varieties and the integrated viticulture we practise. The spirit of the Maison is at once the spirit of the family, the spirit of the land and the shared needs of our vine growers to produce high quality champagne.
