22nd of January : Saint Vincent.

Saint Vincent is the patron saint of the growers. Each year on the 22nd of January, wine growers therefore celebrate its feast in all villages in the territory of the Appellation d'Origine Controlée (AOC) of Champagne.At Villers-Marmery (our village) the brotherhood of St Vincent has taken the habits for at least 15 yearsn to enrtust the procession stick of St Vincent to a grower, so they can take care the one on the other during all the year. If you follow our blog since the beginning, so you know that it is Marie-Noëlle who was honored to host the icone the past year. After 12 months at home, we have entrusted our Patron Saint to another grower of the village (chosen bu us in secret and whose name is revealed at the ceremony.

For this occasion, the youngs of the the brotherhood of St Vincent has weared their traditional clothes and came with the growers to share coffee, croissant, paté and champagne at the estate.

Just a picture.

Marie-Noëlle in the snow.

The  "little" Marie-Noëlle is excatly like the real one : Nothing can stop her. The snow this morning didn't gave any problem for the deliveries, even if the road in the village were closed.

Snow monday the 15th of January

What a surprise to wake up this morning with 10 cm of snow surrounding the house and covering the landscape and the vines of Champagne.

The clouds moved away at 10h and left a nice light, but also a nice sun, making the temperatures raising and the snow melting.

Happy New Year with Playmobil.

1 year. It's been 1 year to the day that the Blog of Champagne Henriet Bazin has been created. Our objective was to share our daily life as champagne grower and producer with pictures, info...

The authenticity of our "savoir-faire"  and our traditional methods do not offer  some "new images" every year. Pruning is pruning and the methods are the same since générations, like "palissage" or "liage"... Then, to continue to entertain and informing you without tiring you, a part of the communication of 2013 will be done with new actors : Playmobil.

I introduce you the "playmobil" Marie-Noëlle. She wish you the best for 2013.
