The Project

Enographiae was established in 2018 as a groundbreaking digital cartography project aimed at promoting the viticultural heritage of cultural landscapes.

Its name originates from the Greek terms οἶνος meaning "wine" and γραϕία meaning "writing, drawing, study."

My journey into Champagne World

"Immersed amidst the gentle slopes of the Champagne region,  the history begins among lush vineyards and ancient cellars whispering secrets through time.


For years, I've made this region my home, a place where the scent of the earth blends with the taste of sun-ripened grapes. I've had the privilege of wandering through flourishing rows, descending into the depths of cellars where silence is broken only by the gentle fizz of patiently fermenting bubbles.


Each bottle of champagne is a journey through time and space, a tale of passion and dedication that begins in the hands of the winemaker and ends into the glass of anyone wishing to celebrate a special moment. It's this connection between land and bubbles that has captivated me, making my life a continuous immersion in the magic world of effervescence.


My passion for this mesmerizing land and its wines has inspired me to embark on extensive research and studies, aiming to make an unprecedented contribution to the understanding of the region. 


The Enographiae project, a new maps collection of Champagne Wineyard, is the culmination of an exciting and vast endeavor that began in 2015 and continues to expand".
