Fort Chabrol, Viticulture research center in Épernay, France
The Fort Chabrol building houses laboratories, educational facilities, and research spaces dedicated to grape cultivation and wine production methods.
Moët & Chandon established the first Practical School of Viticulture at Fort Chabrol in 1900 to combat the phylloxera crisis affecting regional vineyards.
The facility contributed to the development of grafting techniques and rootstock research that transformed grape growing methods in the Champagne region.
Students at Fort Chabrol receive practical training in vine management, grafting techniques, and laboratory analysis of wine production processes.
The institution awarded the Brevet de Viticulture Champenoise diploma until 1980, educating generations of wine professionals in regional cultivation methods.
