Histoire de la maison
Chassenay d’Arce presents itself as a cooperative “Maison de Vignerons.” It states that the house was founded in Ville-sur-Arce in 1956 by five pioneers and that today 130 families across four generations continue the collective venture. The house says its original cooperative spirit of solidarity and transmission of know-how remains central. It places its vineyard in the Côte des Bar, spanning 315 hectares across 14 villages along the Arce river, with Pinot Noir dominant alongside Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Blanc. The page also highlights its sustainability commitments, including being the first Champagne house labeled Vignerons Engagés.
Expérience de dégustation
Chassenay d’Arce offers several visit and tasting experiences. These include a chocolate-and-champagne workshop led by artisan chocolatier Luc Florentin; a blind tasting of three vintage single-grape champagnes with a winegrower; a guided cellar visit covering the stages from vineyard to bottling followed by a commented tasting of three emblematic cuvées; and food-and-champagne experiences after a domain visit, including a vineyard or cellar gourmet pause, a three-course lunch in vaulted cellars paired with three cuvées, and a four-course meal in the Saint-Vincent cellar paired with vintage champagnes. Availability shown on the page is generally Monday to Saturday, with group sizes and starting prices depending on the activity.
