History
You’ll find us just a stone’s throw from Epernay – the capital of Champagne - in the village of St. Martin d’Ablois where, for 3 generations now our family has been making champagne according to time-honoured tradition.
Champagne Didier-Ducos came into being after the marriage of Yvonne Ducos and Adrien Didier in 1946.
Their son Christophe and his wife Dominique developed the business and laid the foundations of success. Now it’s the turn of Adrien and Yvonne’s grandson, Nicolas and his wife Clotilde, to lead the business into the 21st century, and to find the perfect balance between those precious traditions and the demands of the modern world.
We are very proud of our status as an independent Récoltant Manipulant which is your guarantees that our grapes come from our own vineyards and our champagnes are produced and aged in our own cellars.
Our vineyards are about 6 kilometres outside Epernay in a marvellous, but little-known area of Champagne called Les Coteaux Sud d’Epernay ( which means The Southern Slopes of Epernay) and which is tucked away between it’s more famous cousins, the Vallée de la Marne and La Côte des Blancs.
