The story
The Marniquet family cultivates vineyards in Venteuil, with historical roots the official website traces back to 1747. Grandfather Pierre Coutelas began producing wine in 1929; Jean‑Pierre Marniquet developed the Maison and marketed Champagne under his own name. In recent years, daughters Cyrielle and Solène have assumed succession responsibilities, ensuring continuity of the family project. The legal entity JP Marniquet et Filles was registered in 2017.
Production philosophy
Respect for nature and vineyard management oriented toward sustainability: responsible farming practices introduced in 1997, progressive elimination of chemical fertility inputs, cover crops, integrated pest management, hand harvesting and attention to biodiversity. The Maison also holds environmental certifications.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are mainly located in Venteuil, on the right bank of the Marne Valley, on well‑exposed slopes with clay‑limestone soils and good drainage. Jean‑Pierre Marniquet has consolidated the parcels into a single estate to showcase the identity of Venteuil's terroir.
