Our Vineyard

On the south-facing slopes of the Western Marne Valley, between Château-Thierry and Dormans, our vineyard extends over 10.06 hectares of exceptional terroir, recognized for its quality. We cultivate the three grape varieties authorized in the AOC Champagne: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.

From the know-how of our ancestor winemakers, we have learned how to craft and blend our Champagne Cuvées at the family estate, respecting Champagne traditions.
 

Les three Champagne Grapes

In the Champagne AOC appellation, we are only allowed to use three grape varieties that are particularly well-suited to the climatic variations of Champagne and its clay-limestone terroir.

  • Pinot Noir (30% of our cultivated land) and Pinot Meunier (40% of our cultivated land) produce red grapes.
  • Chardonnay (30% of our estate) is the white grape variety.
