Marne et Champagne SA
 PROFILE
Marne et Champagne is big in bubbles. The #2 champagne maker in the world, it produced 23 million bottles of tipple in 1999. Marne et Champagne makes bubbly for Lanson Pere et Fils, Bessevat de Bellefon, and its own labels. In order to automate its production facilities and still afford to pay the bills while its product ages the necessary three years, the company has begun to issue bonds, putting up as collateral millions of bottles of grape juice fermenting in the cellar. Before issuing the first bonds in March 2000, the company hinted at a public offering. The company is controlled and operated by Marie-Laurence Mora, grand-niece of Marne et Champagne's founder.
