The Champagne Slopes, Houses and Cellars on UNESCO's World Heritage List!
Extract from the Association Paysages du Champagne's press release:
"... The 21 representatives of the State Parties to the UNESCO World Heritage Convention unanimously voted in favour of including the Champagne Slopes, Houses and Cellars on the World Heritage List in the Living Cultural Landscapes category. The committee members recognized their Exceptional Universal Value and deemed that the protection and management conditions for the proposed property had been fulfilled.
... The Exceptional Universal Value of the Champagne vineyard cultural landscape, the birthplace of champagne wine, has now been recognized with its inscription on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
And in a broader sense, all the work done to produce, make and publicize champagne wine passed down the generations and preserved in the 320 AOC champagne districts located in the five French départements of Marne, Aube, Aisne, Haute-Marne and Seine-et-Marne...".
