Since the first cellars worked by their grandfather Albert Baron in 1946the 3 granddaughters have taken over the winery and turned it into a legend, or rather a fable! Claire, Lise and Aline carry on the tradition champenoise by moving towards the environmental principles they hold dear. They are certified High Environmental Value and Sustainable Viticulture for their work, an advance that costs them money but which they see every day as a benefit to the planet, and they're proud of it.
