The story
The Loison family has been growing vines for generations; their commercial label was launched by Yves Loison in the late 1970s. In recent years management has passed to Clovis Loison, who has introduced new ideas while maintaining traditional winemaking practices and the enhancement of individual parcels.
Production philosophy
Small-scale quality focus: highlighting the local terroir through parcel-specific cuvées and careful blends; some cuvées are aged in wood or spend extended time on the lees to develop complexity and finesse.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located in the communes of Prouilly and Vandeuil, on the Saint‑Thierry massif northwest of Reims, with clay‑limestone soils that contribute freshness and structure to the cuvées.
