Champagne Vincent Bliard, 'Precieuses Convictions' NV
The new generation, Florence and Antoine, are moving the family Domaine into a modern era. The history of their Domaine is incredible. «Papy Jean» (now 92 years old, still tending his vines EVERY day) was amongst the first 6 families in the late 1960s to convert (although “maintain” is more appropriate) his vineyards to organic farming. Their ancestors were coopers, naturally the family carry on with barrel ageing. Vincent and Marie Odile followed Jean and Helene. Deeply rooted in tradition the new generation, Florence and Antoine have taken over in 2018 with a modern approach and the same enthusiasm.
