De BarfontarThere is a cooperative, what in France is defined by the acronym CM, or Coopèrative de manipulation. Basically a company that produces wines from grapes that are contributed by small farmers in the area. It is based in Baronville. The location is the Croquette des Bars in Champagne. De Barfontarc was founded in 1962, thanks to the initiative of about 50 growers who decided to join forces to face an increasingly complex and global market more effectively. In the beginning it was simply a pressing center. But with the passing of the years and the increase in the number of contributing members (today there are more than 110), the company has gradually grown and organized itself and created its own brand. The name of Barfontarc originates from the initials of the three villages from which the first vignèrons came, namely Baroville, Fontaine and Arconville.
