Grapes : 60% Pinot Meunier, 30 % Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay.
Average vineyards age : 35 years

Tank storage

The estate is equipped with 60 stainless steel vats, ranging from 25 hl to 250 hl, perfectly adapted to the volumes of the different lieux-dits and crus, allowing each origin to be vinified separately.

We favour low temperature fermentation in order to obtain finesse in the wines : between 14°C et 16°C.
We prevent the malo-lactic fermentation to preserve the freshness and the minerality of the wines.”
Laurent VAILLANT

Barrel cellar

The House also has a fleet of 140 barrels, where we carry out extended maturing periods of 6 to 8 months, accompanied by a ‘bâtonnage raisonné’ (stirring of the lees). This technique helps to structure the wine, add body and enrich its aromatic profile.

The cave

Our champagnes age in traditional cellars : 1,5 km including a cellar that was dug during the XVIII century. It is thanks to a long period of ageing that our champagnes are aromatically intense.

Our cellars measure 1.5 km, spread over 2 levels, at -12 and -18 metres underground.
Wines intended for an Extra Brut dosage are kept for a minimum of 3 years in our cellars.
Wines intended for a Brut Nature dosage are kept in the cellars for a minimum of 5 years.
We have a collection of vintages dating back to 1973.

The vineyards partenarships

Our grower partners share with us their knowledge about their terroir.
During the visit of their parcels, we observe the soil, the topography, and the viticulture. This work is essential to transmit the identities and mineral characteristics of every area in our Champagnes.
