This is our chosen title for the grape-growing area of the Champagne appellation – the area that we would like to see listed as a Unesco World Heritage ‘cultural landscape’.
The Unesco World Heritage Committee defines cultural landscapes as geographic areas ‘representing the combined work of nature and man’.
What better example of Nature and man working hand-in-hand than the vineyards of Champagne?
Centuries of vine-growing have made this a land like no other, giving birth to a unique type of wine that is the envy of the world.
 

Our story is all in the landscapes of Champagne. Vineyards dotted with rustic stone shelters, press-houses, cellars, chalk pits, Champagne Houses and vigneron houses – all testify to the special link that unites the people of Champagne and their native soil. This is the land that helped forge the Champagne cultural identity, evolving over countless generations to become a formidable alliance of terroir, technology and teamwork.
