The map "Les Vins de Champagne - Vallée de la Marne et l'Aisne" by Louis Larmat is a detailed depiction of the Champagne vineyards in the Marne Valley and Aisne regions of France. Created in 1944, it highlights the geography of the area, including villages, roads, railroads, and wooded areas. The map uses color shading to represent the quality ratings of vineyards, based on the échelle des crus system, which ranks grape quality on a percentage scale. This system was developed to resolve tensions between vine-growers and Champagne producers, ensuring fair pricing for grapes.

♥ All prints have an additional 0.25 inches (6 mm) white margin; for example, if you select the size 20 x 30 inches, the overall paper sheet will be 20.5 x 30.5 inches; this additional white margin goes beneath the frame, not visible; so, the necessary frame, in this case should have an opening of 20 x 30 inches;
