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.

The Pinot Meunier grape is traditionally used as a blending grape in the region but this contemporary 100% Pinot Meunier NV is both expressive and extremely refined. Pouring a wonderfully pale yellow with golden tones, its nose clearly denotes fresh red fruits and a hint of cherry. 

The front palate is sharp and rounded whilst very well balanced. The finish is pronounced and persistently fruity with a touch of mulberry and stone fruits finish.

Cépage 100% Pinot Meunier

Aged for 3 years on the lees.
