Village by village, the maps of Larmat’s Les Vins de Champagne set out the vineyards of the region’s chalk slopes. They come from the Champagne volume of the Atlas de la France Vinicole, issued in the 1940s and early 1950s, and divide the region into the Montagne de Reims, the Côte des Blancs, the Marne valley and the southern districts, with detailed sheets of the communes around Aÿ, Mareuil, Cramant, Avize and Bouzy. Illustrations show grape picking, harvest work, Hautvillers and the windmill at Verzenay, and portraits and historical subjects recall Dom Pérignon, Moët and Chandon. Statistical charts of yields, quality and sales complete the picture.
