Historia

Our family association with vine-growing can be traced back to 1753, when our ancestors grew vines in the neighbouring village of Chamery; although there is a document that suggests the tradition goes back even further, referring to a “measure of vines” in 1533 that was mapped out by Pierre Maillart, a sworn surveyor working in Chamery for Saint Nicaise abbey.

 

It is now the turn of the ninth generation to take the reins, in the form of Nicolas, who returned in 2003 after completing his studies in engineering and oenology. He is thus perpetuating an almost three hundred year-old tradition and maintains our house philosophy of bringing out the full potential of the Champagne terroirs in our wines. Since 2009, we commit ourselves to a little more respect for the environment by building 130 square meters of photovoltaic panels, which represent a production equivalent to 90% of our consumption. Our carbon footprint is greatly reduced.

Viiniviljelykset

We only have vines in the Premier and Grand Cru villages of the Montagne de Reims. Having long since settled in the area and become wholly familiar with the vineyards, our ancestors were able to keep and select the best terroirs. Added to which, our vines are well-established, mostly planted halfway up the hillside an ideally located for producing excellent quality wines.

In keeping with the region’s typicity, our vineyards contain a high proportion of Pinot Noir vines (75%) together with Chardonnay, the Pinot Noir providing power and substance to complement the finesse of the Chardonnay.

Viinivalmistus

In the winery, we pay particular attention to the first few hours in making a wine. We regularly monitor its progress by tasting and gear subsequent practices accordingly. Vinification and maturing are carried out either in vats or in the barrel depending on the source of the grapes. Our reserve wines are also partly matured in barrels to increase their complexity.

When the time comes for blending, we therefore have a wide variety of wines to choose from, enabling us to make Champagnes of a consistent quality whilst also being able to set aside those that are highly original and particularly expressive. Once bottled, the magic of the sparkle emerges and the reward is Champagne!! But our work doesn’t stop there; laying down in the cellar for a long period enhances the potential of our wines. We then carry out the disgorging process, followed by a further few months in the cellar before labelling and packaging.

Sisäpiiritietoa

This plot of vines has an unusual history that’s worth mentioning. It takes us back to the early 20th centyry and the damage caused by the phylloxera crisis following which the vineyards, including this particular plot, were gradually replanted with grafted stock. However, my father noticed that many plants died except those that had developed their own root system. On the basis of this observation, he decided, in 1973, to replant this entire plot with mass selection, non-grafted Pinot Noir, as it had originally been.

Over thirty years later, the vines are still alive and producing premium-quality grapes. Planted halfway up the hillside in sandy soil, this parcel had been spared the phylloxera disease. So we decided to make a specific champagne from, but only in truly great years. This champagne is a reflection of our estate and our vocation to bring out the flavours of the terroirs of Champagne.
