{"title":"Champagne Augustin","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarc Augustin\u003c\/strong\u003e is based in \u003cstrong\u003eAvenay-Val-d'Or\u003c\/strong\u003e with his wife \u003cstrong\u003eEmmanuelle\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eChampagne Augustin\u003c\/strong\u003e continues the work of \u003cstrong\u003e2 families of winegrowers\u003c\/strong\u003e who have 4 generations on the paternal side and 5 on the maternal side. \u003cstrong\u003eAndrée Lefèvre\u003c\/strong\u003e, Marc's great-grandmother, started out at the beginning of \u003cstrong\u003e1900\u003c\/strong\u003e by freeing herself from \u003cstrong\u003etrading\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eJean Augustin\u003c\/strong\u003e, father of Marc, has never used herbicides or other pollutants in his plots. From the 1970s-1980s, he \u003cstrong\u003erefused chemistry\u003c\/strong\u003e which then seemed a new solution full of great promise... \u003cbr\u003e With Emmanuelle, they create a universe of their own, inspired by \u003cstrong\u003ebiodynamics\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wines of \u003cstrong\u003eMaison Augustin\u003c\/strong\u003e reflect their conviction “\u003cem\u003eThe World is a whole and each action leads to a reaction. Let’s choose positive actions that promote harmony\u003c\/em\u003e.” They practice committed viticulture, it is based on the practice of biodynamics and a culture of testing. \u003cbr\u003eIn their cellar we discover the good, the excellent and the unusual. Cuvées based on the elements of nature and whose plots reflect these elements. No chaptalization, yeasting, refrigeration or inoculation. Sulfur is used in a balanced manner. He experiments on farms with enameled vats, \u003cstrong\u003ewooden jars\u003c\/strong\u003e and\u003cstrong\u003e barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e from the \u003cstrong\u003eMontagne de Reims\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e Marc and Emmanuel claim to be “\u003cstrong\u003eheart growers\u003c\/strong\u003e”: they want to cultivate and mature their champagnes with their hearts.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.mareehaute.vin\/en\/collections\/champagne-augustin.oembed","provider":"Marée Haute","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
