The story
Erick Schreiber established himself as a winemaker in the early 1980s and gradually built up his estate during that decade, focusing on biodynamic practices and on showcasing the Kimmeridgian soils of the Côte de Bar. Over the years he introduced several varieties and developed distinctive cuvées, including an experimental line without sulfites. Published sources report varying production figures; for this field we prefer to leave the value unspecified.
Production philosophy
Protecting and enhancing soil life through biodynamics and minimal intervention in the cellar. The approach emphasizes observation of the terroir, biodiversity and techniques aimed at expressing the purity of the grapes, with dosages and refinements designed to preserve tension and minerality.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located in the southern part of Champagne, in the Côte des Bar, approximately 45 km south of Troyes; parcels in Courteron and Gyé-sur-Seine on clay-limestone soils with Kimmeridgian influences.
