H. Billiot & Fils

In 1896, Eugene Billiot, a miller by profession in Ambonnay, invested in the vineyards during the arrival of Electricity. He thus sees in the purchase of these lands the prosperity of his descendants. The grape productions are then sold to the major Champagne brands before being partially preserved for the first Cuvées elaborations in our name.

Champagne BILLIOT exists since 1937, the initial property belonging to Mr. Louis BILLIOT who separates then between his descendants, brothers and sisters of Henri Billiot.

It is in 1960 that the H.BILLIOT & Fils Champagne is born with Henri who invests and creates the cellars in 1 place of the Fountain, putting the access on the trade by placing us in the center of the village, then Mr. Billiot Serge who, to develop the fame of our wines, will diversify the range and imagine our special vintages.

In 1992, we entered the Society with the creation of the EARL H.Billiot, then in SCEV in 2010, during the retirement of Serge Billiot, it is now Laetitia Billiot, proud to be the 5th generation who is in charge managing the operation, production and production of our wines after 18 years of working with the family.

Ambonnay, one of the first 5 Grand Cru in Champagne, is located in the heart of the Black Coast, on the southern slopes of the Montagne de Reims. Its slopes are famous for the richness of their Pinots noirs and Chardonnay.

Our area of ​​exploitation is 4ha 70 distributed on eighteen parcels all located on our village in ideal exposure since full south, we have the chance to be, on the totality of our vintages, Grand Cru but also pure Ambonnay,

 

The grape variety is about 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay,

All the work of our plots is done in a reasoned way, with always a concern for quality and respect for ancestral methods in environmental. (plowing, reasoned fight, foot size in Chablis method ...)

The work of our wines is done in a traditional way, without malolactic fermentation, nor filtration.

We currently produce about 38,000 bottles a year, the production of which is on our own at the expedition.
