Origin and history
The house "Les Aulnois", located in Pierry in the Marne, is a typical home of champagne operators, rebuilt in 1780 in front of the village church. This building illustrates the affluence of the region's affluent wine growers, with a neat architecture and an octagonal lounge decorated with hand painted wallpapers, probably from Mulhouse's workshops. These sets, inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, date from the Napoleonic Empire and are remarkably preserved.
The French-style garden, registered in 1986, is structured by geometrically carved ifs (Taxus), offering an elegant setting to the property. An annex houses a monumental wooden press, a witness to historical winemaking activities. The house, still linked to champagne production, now belongs to the Henriot house. Its classification to historical monuments covers the facades, the living room and its decor, as well as the garden, highlighting its heritage importance.
The additional inventory of historical monuments in 1986 preserved this architectural and landscape complex, representative of the Champagne wine heritage. The accuracy of the protected elements (living room, garden, common) reflects the artistic and historical value of the site, associated with the golden age of champagne in the 18th century.
