Our champagnes
Terroir
The Sézannais
Flint pebbles, chalk, our soil, our strength
In the South of the famous Côte des Blancs, a unique terroir: the hillsides of Sézannais. Its typicality is found in the aromatic complexity of our vintages. Wines of great finesse marked by minerality - due to the chalky soils for the Chardonnay - and power and vinosity - due to the presence of flint pebbles for the Pinot Noir which is rooted in the stony soils. These pebbles are found in abundance in the soils of the higher altitude vineyards. The landscapes and terroir of Barbonne-Fayel are structured by its local geological history, between the secondary era and the more recent tertiary period.
Know-how
Traditional winemaking
Traditional containers - vinification in oak and acacia
Julien's cellar is made up of a Half-Muid in bi-material Wood/Glass, a stainless steel and wood vat, several barrels and a majestic oak Foudre of 5 000 liters. Our vintages are vinified and matured entirely under wood. This noble material leads to a micro-oxygenation which gives all their complexity and patina to our wines. The acacia has the ability to make the wine a little more tender with floral notes, which will lighten the Pinot Noir while keeping the powerful and honeyed side that the wood brings to the maturation.

Original winemaking
Spherical observatory of wine making
The 220-liter Wineglobes and the 50-liter Dames-Jeanne are Florence's domain. They allow her a feminine vinification, to the eye and the nose as she cooks, thanks to the transparency of these containers. The noble material of glass allows for a precise natural vinification. The glass reveals the pure and fresh expression of the grape. The spherical shape favors circular flows bringing fatness and roundness to the wine. Moreover, these " wineglobes " allow an irreproachable hygiene without cleaning residues and are produced in France, in Gironde.
