Editor's note: It is a house of winemakers, Chassenay d’Arce, a champagne-making cooperative founded in 1956 by five pioneers and that brings together today 130 families and three generations of winemakers in the southernmost reaches of the northernmost wine-making region of France, Champagne country’s Côte des Bars in the Aude administrative region about 60 miles from Epernay. The Arce Valley is lined with a very specific good earth, specific to the Côte des Bar that was once covered by the sea. Here a dark, unique layer of marl soil is found dating from the late Jurassic period, a soil named Kimmeridgian. Marl is an earthy material, rich in clays and silt imparting a unique quality to the grapes that grow in it.
