The house style

The manual remuage in 'pupitres' is still applied to the total production. (= turning the champagne bottles in the racks so that the sediment ends up in the neck of the bottle and can be removed)
The grapes are pressed with a traditional wine press of 4000 kg.
The winemakers are turning more and more towards organic champagne, which is complicated to produce. However, it brings vitality and flavor to the product and makes it more popular and very sought-after.

The assets of the house

Make an appointment and the winemaker will be happy to make some time for you.
You will get a tour of the domain and for a glass of bubbly afterwards you will not have to scrounge.
