They are passionate about soil and farming organically, with no pesticides, to recreate biodiversity and strengthen soil structure, as well as the encouraging the old vines to dig deeper. The vineyards were planted in the 1950's in the heart of the Côte des Blancs: Avize and Cramant, both classified as Grand Cru villages. Since 2000 they have started vinifying independently. Some Vins de Reserve have been added to create the first Cuvée: La Grand Vie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBeing a richer and more decadent wine, you can introduce earthy foods, like truffle, and mushroom.

Wine, in all of its many different forms and varieties, has been noted since ancient times for its uniquely versatile and charming set of properties and characteristics. More so than perhaps any other drink, wine captures the spirit, the way of life and the culture of the place which produces it. And there is perhaps no wine more complex and difficult to produce, or more inextricably bound to the climate and the conditions of the particular region from which it originates, than champagne.
The planting of vines and the production of wine has traditionally had a unique place at the heart of whole communities, signalling a sense of permanence and an attachment to a particular location, and in so doing becoming an enduring source of local pride. When you choose to buy a bottle of quality champagne, you are not simply purchasing a beverage for consumption, but accepting an invitation to go on a journey back into the far, sleepy wine-country from which the bottle originally came, complete with a subtle and intuitive, sensory experience of the weather, the landscape and the industry involved in its production.
Here at Emperor, we’re acutely aware of the fact that many people all across Australia share our passion for quality champagnes, and we’re also aware of the frustrating reality which faces far too many of our fellow enthusiasts, concerning just how difficult and expensive it can be to access new and innovative top-quality champagnes in the Australian market.
