Vineyard of 8.5 ha on the Côte des Bar (Aube), a terroir of choice for pinot noir. It is the 5th generation (Roland Piollot) who converted this family estate to organic farming, certified since 2014. The range is built around single-varietal cuvées, aged on laths for 4 to 6 years.

Champs Rayés, the 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs cuvée, displays a lively, crisp character with distinction, a champagne that is stretched and precise.

With plot selections, an increased percentage of Pinot Noir and vinification partly in barrel, the whole range is remarkable: from the magnificent 'petite' Cuvée Royale Réserve Non Dosé (rated 16.5/20 by the Revue du Vin de France) or the Grande Cuvée 1522 from the historic Grand Cru parcels in Aÿ, to the famous Clos des Goisses, a single vineyard of 5.5 ha and the flagship of the company. All the cuvées are either non dosed (0 g/l) or extra-brut (4 g/l).

Son, grandson and great-grandson of winegrowers, Cédric Moussé took over the reins of the family estate in 2014 and modernised its his Champagne production from top to bottom.

Nothing is left to chance to produce 'better' and 'better': synthetic pesticides and chemical weed pesticides and chemical weeding, eco-pasturing, self-sufficiency in electricity, natural temperature control in the winery, and the use of mineral sulphur (not derived from petrochemicals), lower sugar content during disgorgement, lighter bottles, use of paper capsules... A fervent advocate defender of Pinot Meunier, he offers deep but energetic cuvées with a delicate bubble texture. According to the Revue du Vin de France, "the latest vintages are in top form" (estate cited since 2022).

The great cuvée Les Fortes Terres, 100% pinot meunier, is made from 4 parcels in the locality of "Les Fortes Terres", in Cuisles. Vinified exclusively in small containers and aged for 48 months, this top-of-the-range cuvée proves that pinot meunier, often wrongly regarded as rustic, can also produce elegant wines of astonishing depth.

Since 1993, Valérie and Benoît Lahaye have been proving that a different kind of viticulture, one that respects the living world, is possible in Champagne. In their 5-hectare vineyard in Bouzy, they opted early on for organic vine management, ploughing the soil on horseback and reducing yields to promote aromatic concentration and terroir expression.

The Pinot Noir grape, which makes up the vast majority (88%) and is harvested at optimum ripeness, gives their Champagnes exceptional fruity intensity and persistence, enhanced by very low sugar and sulfur levels. The uniqueness of Benoît Lahaye's cuvées, but above all their quality and consistency, are unanimously acclaimed by the various critics: Gault & Millau named him Vigneron of the Year 2022, En Magnum considers him “one of the most gifted winemakers of his generation”, and the Revue du Vin de France has just awarded him a third star...

Made with 50% reserve wine, Brut Nature has plenty of character. A true winemaker's champagne, combining the vinous aromas of Pinot Noir with an elegant, delicate structure.

From a plot planted with vines, Le Jardin de la Grosse Pierre combines pinot noir with several ancient grape varieties: arbanne, petit meslier, pinot blanc... Singular and captivating.

The Grand Cru Millésime 2014, made up of 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay, is the sincerest expression of the Bouzy terroir, full of length and distinction.

In 2011, the Descours family took over this old House (1851) with the aim of restoring it to its 19th century glory. The gamble paid off, and was widely acclaimed by the critics: "Charles Heidsieck richly deserves to be considered one of today's most brilliant brands" for Mr Bettane, "Heidsieck is back in the limelight with a complete range of top-class wines" for the Revue du Vin de France.

Predominantly Chardonnay, the 'Charles' style is based on elegance and, above all, great freshness tempered by long maturation (from 5 years for the Brut Réserve to 15 years for the Blanc des Millénaires) in their famous chalk pits near Reims. Throughout the range, there's no trace of oxidation, no rancio, just an extreme smoothness. Great art!

Pierre and Sophie Larmandier are among the precursors of biodynamic wines. On their 16 ha vineyard in the south of the Côte des Blancs, they produce champagnes of exemplary naturalness and frankness. Very low (or even no) dosage because they are made from perfectly ripe grapes, their vintages express with precision the aromatic intensity and the delicacy of the greatest chardonnays of Champagne. In short, Larmandier-Bernier obtains with its chardonnays what Égly-Ouriet achieves with its pinots noirs.

The elegance and consistency of Larmandier-Bernier champagnes is praised by Bettane & Desseauve: “Few wineries in any region can boast such consistency at this high level”. Estate rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France's annual guide.
