The salamander, the royal emblem of Francis I, is accompanied by the motto
"Nutrisco & Extinguo" (I feed him and I extinguish him), which can be interpreted as:
"I feed the good fire and put out the bad".
The Chaput House has adopted this emblem and motto, which expresses what drives us in the vineyard and in the cellar: "May your pleasure in tasting our champagnes be equal to the pleasure we have had in revealing them".
