At the end of the nineteen-fifties, Roger Picard, who was mayor of Berru at the time, planted vines on parcels of land that had just been granted the Champagne appellation label. At the beginning of the nineteen-sixties, Jacques Picard, created his own business and produced the very first bottles of champagne under his name.
