Hautvillers Abbey
$22.00
A small village on a chalk slope above the Marne, north of Épernay. Vines below the houses, a single church at the top of the village. Dom Pérignon kept the cellar here for forty-seven years and is buried behind the altar, in a plain stone slab set into the floor. The newer abbey buildings belong to Moët & Chandon now and are not open to visitors, but the church is, and the wrought-iron signs above almost every door in the village name what each family makes.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
