A winegrowing terroir is the combination of an identifiable physical and biological environment (soil, subsoil, relief, climate). The limestone subsoil of the Champagne region favours the drainage of the soil and the minerality of certain wines of the region. In some places it is made up of seven different layers (chalk, sand, clay, limestone, etc.). The chalk of Champagne is made up of skeletons of marine micro-organisms and fossils of molluscs from the secondary era. Very porous, it constitutes a real water reservoir (300 to 400 liters per m3) which ensures that the vines have sufficient water supply even during very dry summers.
