An AOC also sets out all the production conditions that define the identity of this product:

  • Planting rules
  • Rules of viticulture
  • Harvest rules
  • Pressing rules
  • rules at each stage of the development process
  • Dressing rules

The rules of the AOC Champagne are very strict

The main rules of the AOC Champagne are:

  • A strictly demarcated area.

  • Pruning of the vines: Royat, Chablis, Guyot, Marne Valley.

These rules are continuously optimized

Further steps have been taken to further improve quality, including:

  • 1978: Height, spacing and density of the plantings (high density of 8,000 vines/ha resulting in a low load of grapes per plant, guarantee of optimal quality), management method and pruning system.
  • 1,984: Ban on bottling wines before 1 January following the harvest.
  • 1991: Compulsory approval of pressing centres.
  • 1993: Pressing yield of 160 kilos per 102 litres (instead of 150 kilos previously)

Estate

Michel Guilleminot - Champagne

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the Guilleminot family has been working and cultivating vines.

The grapes must be picked by hand and crushed at low pressure in order to retain all their qualities.
The wort is then put in vats and clarified. Alcoholic fermentation can begin.

By choice of the estate, the champagne does not undergo malolactic fermentation: The latter slightly deacidifies the wine but weighs down the aromas.
