This small, family estate was established in the 1840’s and is a 5th generation family champagne producer.

Our unique vineyard, located in the South of the Champagne appellation area, offers exceptional geological and climatic characteristics which gives each of our champagnes unique aromatic expressions.

Lying on almost 18 hectares, our vineyard is located in the fascinating region of Côte des Bar, more precisely in the Barsuraubois in Baroville which is often referred to as the birthplace of Pinot Noir which was planted by the Cistercian monks as early as the 1100’s. The breakdown of grape varieties that we grow is 70% Pinot Noir, 29% Chardonnay and 1% Pinot Meunier.

As a grower, the entire development process is carried out at the property in respect of family traditions. Thus, the greatest attention and quality control are brought to each development step of our products, from our vineyard until you indulge in our magnificent champagnes.

L’Exception is a vintage extra brut Blanc de Blancs made with 100% chardonnay grapes sourced form 30 year old vines. By adding a reduced dosage this is the dryest expression from Philippe Fourrier’s champagne family.

Pours a delicate and surprisingly golden colour with fine strands and a creamy foam. This is an expressive champagne and the nose showcases diverse aromas with hints of yellows fruits and white flowers.

The palate is rich and smooth captivating lingering features of subtle toasty brioche and yellow stone fruits.

Perfect for special occasions.
