William Saintot
This typical Champagne family business was founded in 1918, in the aftermath of the Great War. Vines are planted in three Premier Cru villages in the greater Marne valley - Avenay-Val-d'Or, Mutigny and Bisseuil - as well as in Champignol-lez-Mondeville, in the Aube region. Vinification is mainly carried out in oak barrels, but the domaine has also recently adopted other containers such as the concrete egg. Ten months' ageing, followed by a minimum of three years' ageing on lees, are then required to produce cuvées with character. Malolactic fermentation is not systematically sought, and the wines wait six months after disgorgement before being marketed. The estate has been certified organic since 2022.
