THE WEATHER IN CHAMPAGNE
The ideal climatic conditions for viticulture in Champagne are characterized by cool but not too cold winters; dry and warm springs without late frosts; sunny but not too hot summers with moderate rainfall; followed by early autumn warmth allowing grapes to reach full maturity.
As a tribute to this specific Champenois weather pattern, Baqué Molinié depicts the typical climate in a form resembling a dome.
