Winery presentation by Gault&Millau
Run by Philippe Doury, this family-owned estate, located in the Saint-Thierry mountain range in Pouillon, cultivates the three main grape varieties of Champagne—primarily Meunier, which is fruity and rich—on sandy-clay soils. The history of Doury champagnes dates back to 1890 and their creation by Émilienne, Philippe’s grandmother, to whom the house pays tribute with a Blanc de Blancs cuvée bearing her name. Today, Alice, Philippe, and their daughter Enora work together to create new cuvées and promote more sustainable farming practices, with a constant focus on the environment and biodiversity.
