The paintings depict most of the members of the family who lived there and recount the highlights of their lives. Continue on to the Chant d'Éole estate. Born from a meeting between a Champagne winegrower and a family of Belgian farmers, the wine estate draws inspiration from the best techniques developed to date to guarantee the production of sparkling wines that are faithful to the Belgian terroir.

Passionate guides will explain the different stages of wine production, from planting to bottling, including the choice of grape varieties, vine maintenance, and vinification.
