CHAMPAGNE DE BARFONTARC
In 1962, some fifty winegrowers from the Aube villages of Baroville, Fontaine and Arconville on the Côte des Bar joined forces to create the "Coopérative Vinicole de la Région de Baroville". Initially a pressing center, the Cooperative grew to produce its own brand of champagne, "DE BARFONTARC". Located in Baroville, it still brings together the same winegrowers, who cultivate 112 ha of vines in 7 surrounding villages, and employs around twenty people year-round.
