Style

Barons de Rothschild operates from Vertus, a village in the Côte des Blancs region of Champagne. The house's production infrastructure underwent significant reconfiguration through a commission with PACE Architectes, the Reims-based architectural practice. This redesign of the chais—the aboveground storage and production spaces—reflects the house's commitment to modernising its facilities while maintaining the functional demands of champagne production.

History

Barons de Rothschild represents one of the established champagne houses within the broader Champagne appellation. The house's decision to engage PACE Architectes for the reconfiguration of its chais demonstrates the pattern of investment across the region in updating production infrastructure and physical spaces. This work forms part of a wider trend among Champagne producers to balance heritage preservation with contemporary operational needs.
