The story
It is a family estate rooted in the southern slopes of Épernay. Commercial and industry sources indicate that the modern management under the Tellier name, including the marketing of its own cuvées, began in the second half of the 2010s. The official website highlights the involvement of several generations in the operation and a commitment to preserving the local viticultural heritage.
Production philosophy
Low-intervention approach: respect for the soil and the vineyard heritage; parcel-by-parcel vinification to allow the terroir to express itself; practices inspired by organic/biodynamic methods, not officially certified.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in Moussy, between the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, with vineyards spread across several communes and on the chalky soils typical of Champagne. The estate's holdings include parcels on moderate slopes that express different microterroirs.
