Winery presentation by Gault&Millau
Founded in Champignol-lez-Mondeville in the Aube department, in the heart of the Côte des Bar, this family-owned winery bears the name of Robert Dumont (1926–2018), a winemaker, cooper, and also a bell-ringer who announced the break of dawn—a role that earned him the endearing nickname “little sun.” Having chosen to remain independent, his grandchildren now tend the 11.21 hectares of vineyards—including 1.95 hectares of Chardonnay and 9.26 hectares of Meunier—using specific Terravitis-certified cultivation methods. It’s an artisanal approach where every bottle—50,000 per year—carries a piece of history.
