Essoyes

With a majority of our plots around this village, Essoyes is our main area. Grown for more than 400 years on these lands, the vine has set the pace of village-life for a long time. Many cadoles (small stone shelters) and vaulted cellars attest to the importance of its wine-making past. The specific subsoil, of « Kimmeridgian » origin, is recognized as the source of the finest sparkling wines. It is found on all the hills around the village, constituting the inimitable matrix of Champagne’s great wines.

Chardonnay

A variety with finesse, the Chardonnays of Essoyes are no exception to the rule. Planted on the highest terroirs, the wines produced are of great intensity while maintaining the freshness required by the long years of aging in the cellar.

Pinot Noir

Perfectly adapted to this land on the Côte Des Bar, Pinot Noir here is King. We have devoted to this grape 70% of our vineyards in this village. The Pinot Noir of Essoyes, with its slow maturity due to the type of soil, ensures perfectly balanced wines.

Pinot Blanc

Today the 6,000 vines planted in 1954 by Bernard Tassin continue to grow on this south-facing plot. Not representing more than 0.2% of the champagne vineyards, Pinot Blanc shines by the richness of its aromas, especially white flower and peach. These delicate notes sublimate our Cuvée Excellence.

CELLES-SUR-OURCE

Mythical village of the Côte des Bar, with its many grower-producers, Celles has succeeded in establishing itself as one of the most prestigious places in the Champagne region. The quality of these soils is indisputable.

The wines produced on these lands enchant by their roundness and their bodies.  Our two plots, “Fioles” for Pinot Noir and “Dalivard” for the Chardonnay, allow us to make wines which are precious and essential to the blending of our Champagnes.

LANDREVILLE

The village has its roots at the dawn of time. Already occupied at the Celtic time, Landreville has crossed the millennia to reveal itself today as a great Champagne terroir. At the heart of this jewel, a place called ‘Mobline’ has always produced renowned wines.

Our “Mobline” plot enjoys perfect exposure to the sun as well as a breathtaking view of the valley. The black Pinots develop amazing maturity there, allowing the production of red wine for our blended Pink Champagne.
