The roots of Champagne Dom Caudron are in Passy-Grigny, a village in the Marne Valley where a famous priest, Aimé Caudron, had a visionary and promising idea… The generous epicurean was an iconic vine growing figure in this Marne Valley’s village. He loved eating in the village vine growers’ homes and brightened up banquets with his passion. Dom Caudron knew that the wine they served at mealtimes to enjoy every day had a bright future…

Winemaking

Prédiction is the first creation of the Dom Caudron champagne house, which embodies the unique features of the Passy-Grigny terroir and the varietal characteristics of Pinot Meunier. The grapes are grown on the clay-limestone and clay-sand soils of Champagne. The vineyards utilise judicious viticultural practices. The grapes are harvested by hand. The base wine undergoes traditional vinification at a controlled temperature, including malolactic fermentation. Champagne is then produced using the classic method of secondary fermentation and ageing on lees in bottles. Maturation lasts for at least 2 years. Afterwards, dégorgage is carried out and a 33 g/litre dosage liqueur is added to give the champagne a juicier character.
