AUBE Deemed by many as Champagne’s most unique subregion, the Aube is actually located closer to Chablis than it is to Champagne’s other four subregions. Vineyards in the Aube account for 20% of Champagne’s total production, with Pinot Noir leading the way as its key variety. Due to its proximity to Chablis, the area’s terroir is heavily made up of kimmeridgian limestone, and its southerly location renders it slightly warmer than Champagne’s northerly four subregions. Over the past few decades, the Aube has become regarded for its quality-focused grower producers, making it an up-and-coming “region to watch” amongst collectors and sommeliers alike.
