The family was an early pioneer of organic viticulture in Champagne, beginning the transition in the 1960s and achieving organic certification in 1970\u003cspan\u003e. Today, Florence Bliard and Antoine Bliard-Bocquet continue this legacy, farming roughly four hectares of Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay entirely organically.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the cellar, Bliard takes a traditional, low-intervention approach, with \u003c\/span\u003eoak playing an important role in the house style. Wines are raised in foudres and barrels, with indigenous yeasts used when possible and minimal additions. The Champagnes are made without fining, filtration, or cold stabilization, allowing the vineyards and varied soils of Hautvillers to remain at the forefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting wines are vinous, textured, and expressive, often showing savory complexity, spice, minerality, and depth rather than simply primary fruit. With production of only around 12,000 bottles annually\u003cspan\u003e, Vincent Bliard remains a tiny grower-producer whose identity is rooted in more than half a century of organic farming, traditional wood élevage, and a strong commitment to expressing the terroir of Hautvillers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53580358418721,"sku":"210000022609","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/files\/SSWINEBOTTLEPHOTOTEMPLATE_7998ab81-f03e-434d-96e8-39d74ded1a96.png?v=1790359522","url":"https:\/\/perrineswine.com\/products\/nv-vincent-bliard-les-fondamentaux-premier-cru-champagne-france","provider":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
