Winery presentation by Gault&Millau
South of Reims lies the small village of Trois-Puits, with fewer than 200 residents. It was here that Pierre Trichet’s parents, grain farmers, planted the first grapevines in the 1960s. Over the decades, the estate has expanded into the towns of Ludes, Taissy, and Montbré, and Pierre Trichet now manages 8 hectares. While he remains in charge of tending his Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards, he has entrusted the management of the estate to Stéphane Dubois, who oversees a lineup that includes a hidden gem: a 100% Pinot Blanc planted at Les Trois-Puits, which ages in a tunnel discovered by Pierre’s father and believed to date back to 1789.
