THe heartland of Champagne -as in the Cotes des Blancs - has been FN for almost as long as I have lived here. One look at the scorched soils in spring, and the people actually picking the grapes should easily give that away. Hower, France First is a really really bad thing for the champagne industry in general, as the bulk of the sales come from abroad. Having said that, the bulk of the waning sales is also export driven. Food for thought maybe....
PS Too many people here in Champagne believe FREXIT would be a good thing... Anyway, it seems the FN will find itself running te country (if it can coordinate itself quickly enough) for the Olympics - this should be "interesting" !

If Macron's plan backfires I think it will be a pretty volatile period...
