Famille Descombe Cremant De Bourgogne "90.10" NV

The story of the Descombe family as a wine producer began over a hundred years ago in 1905, when François Descombe was the mayor of the village of Saint Etienne des Oullières near Mont Brouilly. With Marine, the fifth generation representative, the vineyards have been expanded, and today the family has production not only in Beaujolais, but also in Chablis and Northern Rhône

In addition to viticulture, each farm also takes care of nurturing the biodiversity of the environment by, for example, caring for forests. The family's plans are to plant up to 15,000 trees around their vineyards and partly in their place, because the trees protect the vineyards from both wind and frost, but also create a favorable habitat for insects, birds, bats and other small predators
