Avenue de Champagne Epernay
$22.00
A mile of mansions in the Marne valley, lined with the doors of the great champagne houses: Moët, Perrier-Jouët, Pol Roger, Mercier, De Castellane. Above the street the architecture is composed and nineteenth-century quiet. Below it, more than a hundred kilometres of chalk cellars hold roughly two hundred million bottles slowly turning sugar into something else. In December the facades go gold for the Habits de Lumière festival. The rest of the year the avenue is unhurried, a place that does its work underground.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
