Winery presentation by Gault&Millau
Julien, a native of Festigny and a fourth-generation winemaker, carefully tends to two precious things: his 9 hectares of vineyards and the smiles of everyone he meets. He shares this journey with his wife, Julie. As growers and winemakers in the heart of the Marne Valley, they tend their vineyard—scattered like a jigsaw puzzle and comprising 58 plots in the Cirque de Festigny—without chemical inputs, using only mineral sulfur, and the grapes are vinified plot by plot in oak barrels. The Meunier grape variety reigns supreme, flanked by Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, producing champagnes rich in terroir and character.
