STORY OF OUR WINERY

Our vineyards

Since 1975, we have slowly developped our vineyards by looking for the best terroirs and soils for each variety of grapes in Champagne.
So we are quite an unusual winery in Champagne as our vineyards are located on different slopes, in several different villages accross the Champagne area.:

On the Côte des Bars, we get grapes pinots noirs with strong flavours while our fruity pinots meuniers grow in the Marne Valley.

We harvest our delicate Chardonnay grapes in our vines on the Coteaux Sézannais and especially in our small village of Vert-Toulon, where you can also found our cellars.

This variety of grapes and terroirs provides us with a rich and interesting range of flavours to create our Champagne while guaranteeing year on year high quality.

HVE certification!

Working with Nature everyday, we want to take care and respect her. Since 2019, we have received the certification and label HVE, Haute Valeur Environnementale (High Environmental Value).

Every year we strive to improve our working techniques in the vineyards to respect the Nature while producing great grapes.:

• we recycle the woods we cut during prunin season by crushing them bringing new energy to the soil instead of burning them.
  
• we use the technique of mating disruption to reduce our use of pesticides
  
• we use mainly biocontrolled products allowed in organic farming to protect our vines more naturally against pests when necessary,
  
• we have reintroduce grass in our vineyards to reduce soil erosion,
  
• we keep and take care of the edgerows close to our vines to increase the biodiversity of the wildlife.

Our cellars

Our cellars are located in the small village of Vert-Toulon, in the heart of the Champagne area, 10 min from Vertus, 25min from Epernay, Sézanne and Chalons en Champagne.

We are part of the Coteaux du Sézannais and the Coteaux du Petit Morin, on the edge of the Cote des Blancs.

To create Champagne of high quality, our cellars are modern with stainless steel tuns but also oak barrels for more traditionnal methods. We will be happy to welcome you in our cellars
