Gault&Millau's review

Domaine de Marzilly has its origins in the heart of the village of the same name, a locality set back from Hermonville in the Saint-Thierry massif, the northernmost region of Champagne. Created by Maxime Ullens, a passionate young Belgian, the independent, family-run domaine produces champagnes of character with the greatest respect for local traditions and biodiversity. The story of the house began in 2012, when Maxime and his father acquired the ruins of Château de Marzilly. Fascinated by this 12th-century edifice, which had been abandoned for decades, they decided to restore it to its former glory and set about rebuilding it. With the help of soil analyses in the château grounds and local archives, the family discovered the details of Marzilly's winegrowing history. Inspired by the rich terroirs of the Massif de Saint-Thierry and traditional winemaking methods, Maxime Ullens put an end to his historic renovation business in Belgium and, with the help of his wife Anna, set about creating a completely new operation. Thus was born Domaine de Marzilly and its Ullens champagne.

Presentation

Le domaine se fixe un objectif clair : mettre en avant le patrimoine de Marzilly et du massif de Saint-Thierry. Le Domaine de Marzilly s’approvisionne aujourd’hui sur près de 4 hectares de vignes. Le vignoble est situé sur un coin sableux de Champagne, où le pinot meunier domine. Le domaine est certifié HVE3 et VDC. Les fermentations s’effectuent en fûts de chêne, dont certains proviennent également du parc du château. Le Clos de Marzilly, clos historique de la région, est la parcelle la plus emblématique du domaine, entièrement constituée de meunier et certifiée Ecocert.
