The story
Stéphane returned to his hometown in the Côte des Blancs and took over the family vineyards, beginning separate vinifications for individual parcels and developing multi-vintage cuvées based on permanent solera reserves. The first documented single-parcel vinifications come from parcels in Oger and Le Mesnil; subsequently production gained greater visibility through exports and collaborations with specialist importers.
Production philosophy
An approach focused on respect for the soil and living organisms: managed without synthetic pesticides, observance of lunar cycles, and the use of plant-based preparations in the vineyard. In the cellar, native fermentations are preferred, wood is used sparingly, and perpetual reserves are incorporated into the blends to maintain the domaine’s continuity and identity.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. The cuvées are linked to named parcels that reflect differences in exposure and calcareous soil.
