EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in the intricate process of making and storing champagne. Taken from Le France Vinicole, a publication by Moet & Chandon, Epernay, this photolitho print showcases the laborious task of boring a cellar. The image is credited to Choque, E. M. , an artist known for his work in the 19th-20th century. In this scene, we witness workers diligently engaged in their craft within an underground vineyard. Armed with axes and determination, they navigate through layers of rubble and construction debris as they dig deeper into the earth. The atmosphere is filled with industry and purpose as these winemakers meticulously carve out caves that will serve as wine cellars. The composition exudes a sense of timelessness - a testament to the enduring tradition behind champagne production. It offers us a glimpse into the hidden world beneath our feet where countless bottles are aged to perfection. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but marvel at the dedication and skill required to create such exquisite beverages. This photograph serves not only as a visual record of historical winemaking practices but also as an homage to those who have dedicated their lives to perfecting every aspect of this beloved drink.
